It was her great love of horses and her family’s history of military service that inspired Judith Leman to create a series of sculptures recognising the vital role horses played in the First World War. The sculptures tell the stories of the horses being transported to Egypt

other statues of horses that we found captivating. One of my favourite horse statues is the one that carries The Maid of Orleans outside the Melbourne City Library as shown above. The sculptor was Frenchman Emmanuel Frémiet.
