The Bronze

This unique bronze sculpture was donated to Aberaeron town by the Aberaeron Festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs to denote the area as Welsh Cob Country.

It was cast in bronze by sculptor David Mayer in 2005.
David Mayer – “He draws on experiences and his innate respect for and love of wild animals and the world’s wildernesses.
He says, Being outdoors and observing wildlife in its natural habitat inspires me as an artist and as a human being.”

“It is the only life-size bronze of a Welsh Cob in the world!”
