It all started with an artist named Scott Wayne Indiana. He knew about the horse rings in many Portland sidewalks and thought it was a shame that we don't tie our horses to them anymore. Scott decided to change that and tied his first pony to a horse ring in the fall of 2005 in the revitalized Pearl District in Northwest Portland. After a few months, he expanded the horse project and asked for some help. Now these horses are showing up all over. You can find them in most parts of Portland now.
OK I want to start by saying that I LOVE Portland... I had been wondering about the cute little horses on Mississippi ave, and this is a way better explanation than I could have come up with on my own. more horse pics @ http://www.39forks.com/39pages/projects/Horse/HorseCollection.htm

I've been seeing these around town and just barely found out what the deal was. Really cool I think.
Did Torso (the lovely shop in your banner) close?? I drove by today and the space was empty! I never even got to go in there!
P.S. I'm Chelsea from Frolic! I think I found your blog from your roommate Amy?:)
