These statues are in front of Union Station.
We walked all of 25th Street and there are several horses in each block. They are everywhere!!
Each is hand painted and by different artists......what talent they have.

My kids wanted to see all of them so we took them around Ogden, and got photos of 51 of them. We went from Union Station up, and down 25th Street. Then up and down Washington Blvd from 23rd to 26th on both sides.
Then I heard there are 61. I'm not sure where the other 10 are hiding, but I'd like to find them.
I just found an article in the local military base paper The Hilltop Times. It says there are 75statues. Here is a link.

A short paragraph from the article.
"This year, the 75th anniversary of Ogden's Pioneer Days, the city decided to arrange 75 horse statues instead of its usual 24 around Historic 25th Street, Union Station, the Junction and Washington Boulevard. With extra horses available, the Ogden Pioneer Heritage Foundation decided that it would reward companies and organizations that had donated volunteer hours in the past but might not be able to formally sponsor a horse"
I am looking to make some a set of coasters of out these horses. For a store on 25th street. Would you by chance give me permission to use your photos? Or how much would you charge me for copies of the photos?
What date will the horses be picked up for storage?
