We have a brand new sculpture trail dotted around North Lincolnshire to celebrate the 300th birthday of the renowned horse painter, George Stubbs. Stubbs lived in a local village, Horkstow, when he dissected and painted the well known Anatomy of a Horse. We have 10 life size horse sculptures and many small ones around North Lincolnshire. I have added the locations of each horse incase you want to come and look but lots more information is available online. All the horses were designed, made and decorated by local artists and groups. We have just 2 left to photograph, a job for this week.

Horkstow Church in the village that George Stubb's lived when he painted The Anatomy of a Horse. Afraid his house is no longer standing.
