Equestrian sculptures are statues or sculptures that depict horses and riders in various poses and styles. The term "equestrian statue" describes a statue of a rider mounted on a horse, while a sculpture of a riderless horse is called an "equine statue". Equestrian sculptures can be made from a variety of materials, including bronze, stone, and clay, and can range in size from small figurines to large, outdoor installations.

One of the most famous equestrian sculptures in the world is the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, which is located in Rome, Italy. This enduring monument has borne witness to the city`s imperial glory, post-imperial decline, its Renaissance resurgence, and even its quotidian experience in the twenty-first century.


Another famous equestrian statue is the Chinggis Khan statue, which is the largest equestrian statue in the world and is located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.


Equestrian sculptures have been commissioned for public spaces, such as parks and plazas, as well as for private collections. Some artists who specialize in creating equestrian sculptures include Patricia Crane, who creates horse sculptures for show trophies and awards, and Jen Pratt, who specializes in handmade clay sculptures of horses.



Overall, equestrian sculptures are a popular and enduring art form that celebrate the beauty and grace of horses and riders.
