A white horse is a great idea, but that one is 'orrible IMHO. Like it says in the article "like the realistic model horses you can buy in toy shops" ..... so it really grates. The Wednesbury one is great. Or maybe one that evokes the Uffington one.

It's a wonderful idea, but contemporary sculptors can't produce objects of actual beauty so it is bound to be a flop. The postcards - artfully framed - will look great but proximity will show the flaws. A long time ago there were billboards beside railway lines and a huge horse, copying Uffington, could work well. I'm to make a list of all the arts correspondents, for the big papers, and to send them a postcard "please don't describe angel of the south as the largest sculpture in the country, as it's not". The honour of that term belongs to a megalithic construction which I recommence next week.
