BROKEN HOBBLES, Limited Edition Bronze by GAIL #24 Last one in Stock!

Dressed "buckaroo" style with short chaps called "chinks" this young lady has lost her mount due to broken hobbles. This style of dress in most common in the Pacific Northwest and Nevada.

Over her shoulder she carries a braided leather headstall, which would have required many hours of careful crafting. The Spanish spade bit is a work of art in itself and to be properly used requires years of training in a series of bosal hackamores for the horse.

This bronze continues the series and tells what happens after "Desert Dream" (Desert Dream is sold out, but is very similar to "Spring Fantasy.")
After climbing down a steep canyon wall and cooling off in the secluded stream below, she has re-emerged only to find that she has been left afoot by the horse she had hobbled. Not a pleasant prospect in the open West.

One-third life-size: 25"h x 10" x 12" Patina is like the outer photos (blue-green shirt)
