Shayne built the armature and body of the horse on top of a clay horseshoe.  The draft horse shoe in the sculpture is an exact copy of the size of Jim and Bally's shoes,  kept in the family all these years.

Now add clay...

Our good friends Chuck and Terri Maple let Shayne spend a day photographing Dan and taking measurements.  Their neighbor Jenni Bogar rode Dan for model photos.

The foundry process is quite complicated.  A mold was made, then pieces cast.  It took about 4 months to get to this stage. They are here in bronze, ready for the patinas. 

The patina and then done!

From the photos above, you can see that Bart at Parks Bronze in Enterprise, Oregon completed four different patinas for The Supper Trail.  

Once completed, Shayne mounted them on the black walnut bases and prepared them for sale/delivery.
