Judy Boyt MA FRSS The Real War Horse They were the backbone to keeping supplies moving to the army as well as being used on the gun carriages behind and on the Frontline. They worked all through the war and many were lost but their work was tireless.

I have depicted this horse pulling, it shows the essence and tireless work they did throughout the war. The harness is only a suggestion, a reference only as the sculpture is about the honesty of horse whatever position he was placed.
