The Horse Project

It all began with an artist named Scott Wayne Indiana. He knew about the horse rings in many Portland, USA, sidewalks and thought it was a shame that we don't tie our horses to them anymore.

Scott decided to change that and tied his first pony to a horse ring in the fall of 2005 in the revitalized Pearl District in Northwest Portland. After a few months, he expanded the Horse Project and asked for some help. Now these horses are showing up all over Portland.

I remember when I saw my first one while out on a walk. It was before I knew about the project. I laughed really hard and long. It really made my day. Now, I see them every once in a while...kind of like a surprise, that makes me smile. They disappear fast but luckily they always seem to come back eventually. It's my favorite thing about Portland.
