Along the ground beneath it runs a low mound of the same clear material worked as tufts of grass, and every hoof that carries weight comes down onto a tuft rather than onto a flat base, while the tail streams free behind. Everything is colourless, and the grass is left rough while the animal is polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull Stretch Over a Mound of Grass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA galloping animal is not a standing one with the legs moved. The whole body has to be believable in the air, which means the reach of the forelegs, the angle of the neck and the line of the back are set against each other rather than each being right on its own, and it is the sort of thing that only shows when the piece is finished and stood up. The grass is what makes the pose possible at all: its tufts rise to meet the hooves, so the animal is carried at full stretch without a post under its belly, and each tuft is shaped to read as grass right up to the hoof rather than as a support. Clear legs at full extension are the fussiest part of the polish, since a scratch on a slim clear section reads as a white line, and each leg is finished on its own before the body is taken to its final grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is going somewhere and it should be pointed at open space, not at a wall, so the end of a room, the head of a table or a wide windowsill suits it better than a shelf between books. It reaches sideways well past its own height, so allow the length rather than the footprint. Behind glass or in front of a window it is at its best: the colourless body turns into a bright outline and the rough grass stays solid. A dark surface underneath separates the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrass, Tint, Scale and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The tufts can be built up into a deeper bank or kept to a low pad, and a plain block can carry the horse instead. The whole piece can be tinted amber or smoke, or the grass alone coloured while the horse stays clear. Frosting either part is offered and scale is cut to order. It ships in one fitted crate and needs two people, lifting under the barrel and the base rather than by a leg. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horse at full gallop over tufts of grass belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-sculptures\"\u003ehorse sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a body stretched in the air leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and colourless resin polished and rough joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017626931547,"sku":"R062","price":3037.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R062.jpg?v=1791306775","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-galloping-horse-cast-resin-sculpture-84cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
