the Knight of Swords

This sculpture (Boreal, by Debora Butterfield) is in Chattanooga, outside the Hunter Museum of American Art. More pictures are in the travel section, here.

This is the bones of my warhorse-- a huge dappled gray creature, so big that I need a mounting block to get on his back, who barely feels my weight, but is sweet and well trained enough to listen to a light rein. Named Canus Major (my little bilingual joke, between the Latinate medieval warhorse and the plains indian "big dog")
