“Fernando” (named after one of Roballo’s many brothers), is a life-sized horse that stands guard over the yard. Like most of Roballo’s sculptures, Big Horse appears to have movement, like he is just about to bolt.

Big Horse was inspired by the knot that makes the nostrils. The artist built the horse around them!
