Going To The Horses

Embedded in many sidewalks around Portland, Oregon are rings for tying up horses. The equine species no longer figuring much in Portland’s transportation plan, these rings were mostly forgotten until artist Scott Wayne Indiana tied a toy pony to a ring in the Pearl District. Thus was born the horse project — dozens of toy horses may now be found hitched up all over Portland.

  1. That’s cool! I didn’t know that about Portland. Though somehow I envisioned larger horses, like hobby horses.

  2. So cool!

    I LOVE Portland, and would live there if it were possible. :)
