Large Famous Bronze Fighting Stallions Memorial Sculpture

Description

Take a look at the Fighting Stallions Memorial sculpture. A bronze sculpture of two horses fighting, this sculpture made of bronze represents people’s struggle to overcome adversity, desire for achievement, and confidence in the future. The Fighting Stallions Memorial sculpture was built by the people of South Dakota as a permanent memorial to the eight South Dakotans who were killed in a plane crash on April 19, 1993. The national plane N86SD crashed in Dubuque, Iowa, after its propeller assembly failed in bad weather on a nearby farm.

Fighting Stallion Memorial sculpture was enlarged in bronze from mahogany carved by South Dakota sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski in 1935. The sculpture was chosen because it symbolically represents South Dakota’s struggle to overcome adversity, desire for achievement, and confidence in the future. It’s a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Fighting Stallion Memorial was authorized and funded by a special session of the 68th Session of the South Dakota Legislature. In addition, hundreds of South Dakotans volunteered to contribute labor, materials, and money to the project’s completion. This Fighting Stallions Memorial sculpture fits perfectly in the square for people to look at and remember. All of our bronze sculptures are cast using the traditional lost wax method.
