Artist Amy Goodman's 'War Horse' is Back at Rum’s Eg Due to Popular Demand

'Romsey War Horse' Bronze resin Maquette

Bell Street gallery, Rum’s Eg are delighted to announce that War Horse will be returning to the gallery by popular demand.

Rum’s Eg had previously exhibited a thought provoking maquette of a First World War soldier and his horse earlier this Summer, when plans were revealed for a War Horse statue to be erected on Romsey War Memorial Park.

The statue is to commemorate the Pauncefoot Hill Remount Camp and the Remount Service where thousands of horses and mules passed through to Romsey to prepare for war.

Talented sculptor and creator of the War Horse maquette, Amy Goodman of Quarley, is to undertake the poignant statue project which displays the unbreakable bond shared as they dealt with the horrors of the First World War.

As an Associate member of the Society of Equestrian Artists, Amy has spoken of her enthusiasm to participate:

“as long as I can remember I have drawn and sculpted animals, particularly horses. The character and movement of the subject matter are very important to me - a few strokes of paint or a few lines of steel can say so much.” 

The maquette was created as part of a public consultation service for the War Horse project and will show the planned position of the final sculpture.
