Frozen foal unrecognisable as cross country star

Please subscribe here - kzbin.info?...
A horse who was rescued at just ten months old from a freezing field with his emaciated mother and a group of other horses is the muse for the World Horse Sculpture Trail which will be displayed at a number of locations across the UK this year.
World Horse Welfare’s ‘World Horse Trail’ will feature forty sculptures all modelled on Lucas who is now transformed and competes at a number of equestrian disciplines (including showing, dressage and cross country) with his Fife-rehomer, Colleen Macrae.
Acclaimed sculptor, Judy Boyt, travelled to Lucas’ home in Fife to ‘live sculpt’ a maquette of the young horse which was then scaled up to create a mould for the large fibreglass horses which make up the sculpture trails.
Twenty 11hh sculptures will make up two trails, the first of which will be on display around the towns of Windsor and Eton from mid-April, before moving to Kensington and Chelsea. The second trail will be showcased at the Royal Windsor Horse Show where World Horse Welfare is 2019 Charity of the Year and where Lucas will also be travelling to compete in a showing class - flying the flag for rescue horses everywhere.

She has done excellent work with him. He is truely gorgeous and a great representative for World Horse Welfare!

[@worldhorsewelfare]

Thank you!

[@emilylipsitz]

@@worldhorsewelfare how many horses do you own

[@rebeccawolf8317]

He greyed out sooo nicely! He’s really gorgeous. She’s very lucky to have such a stunning and striking horse.

[@Polopony20.]

What a beautiful color transformation! Dappled paints are my absolute favorite color

[@leert2698]

He’s proof that you don’t have to be a purebred to have greatness in you. I have absolutely nothing against purebreds, I just love to see the “underdogs” do well.

[@alyshajordan4989]

Its unbelievable how that going from a miss treated foal to an amazing cross country star im glad he now has had an amazing transformation and a good home this world needs people like you in this country i do horse riding myself. At first i thought that they were discusting creatures but now i dont know what i would do if i couldn't see my horse. These videos are so inspiring

[@susanmcewan302]

I so admire people who rescue neglected animals. Ty for giving this beautiful horse a wonderful life!

[@Zoe.m.]

He is gorgeous, he's so curious and those perked up ears tell me he's really enjoying the cross country.

[@laragrove75]

Lucas is so lovely and his rehomer seems like such an amazing owner 🥰

[@jenniferfloyd2314]

What a lovey horse and the story with the glove...so sweet. He found his perfect human.

[@cheriedewald914]

He is a beautiful gelding and a wonderful representative for World Horse Welfare. I am so glad you adopted him. You two make a great team! ❤️🙏👍

[@fluffy_mcflooferson4635]

He obviously loves cross country, he's just so bright in the shots of him running and jumping. And so powerful, even in the tiny video on my cell phone it comes through. What a beautiful story. (The glove! lol!)

[@JustNatax3]

My godness his colour and everything is stunning... what a diamond in the rough!

[@caitlingibson-meehan3432]

such a beautiful horse, such an amazing story and such amazing people!

[@unseelie63]

What a gorgeous boy! I love what I heard about his intelligence,his curiosity.

[@mariemceniery4843]

He’s so freaking beautiful♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ keep up the good work guys

[@ayato4743]

I've never seen such a color before. He lookes very good and must be really happy to have such a good life after his bad start. Also I like that she let him decided what he wants to do and wasnt like "He has to do this, if he wants or not" and doesnt force him into one of the many sport directions riding can go.

[@mikaelafox6106]

For a moment I thought she was sculpting him for Breyer. Wish that was the case. I’d buy one! Love his coloration. I didn’t recognize him as a foal!

[@suehelms906]

I can see Lucas couldn't have asked for a better home, he has come a lot way and you can see he loves his life with you!

[@rylieo9206]

It’s so cool how his color looks so different

[@monkey-trial...6578]

Yes the colour! I love grey horses and chestnuts but the grey on this guy is stunning and I love that style of mane if you call it that!

[@karaamundson3964]

He's so lovely and sweet. I'm a big fan of grays and the white is a huge bonus!

[@deni9626]

Lovely color. Amazing that the pinto turned into a dapple, wowwwww.

[@silliest_of_sillies]

One of the most beautiful horses I’ve seen in my life

[@maleeha7236]

That's literally the most gorgeous horse I've ever seen in my life 😍

[@bezoticallyyours83]

What a gorgeous horse. I wish people wouldn't bother with animals if they won't take care of them.

[@richardbenitez7803]

From watching the Olympics a few years ago, there was a wonderful story of a gold medal horse that was ornery, difficult, largely unwanted male. A woman bought him and tried him out on these long distance cross feats. He horse took to it right off.

[@youreinvalid8493]

He greyed so beautifully!!

[@sarahivsutterb747]

You should ask the famous factory Breyer to make a sculpture out of this gorgeous, wonderful, fascinating and so majestic horse because this horse needs to be sold to many many horse lovers as a sculpture to collect and to show the marvelous and so unique colour patterns of this horse to many many people around the world - I would buy it immediately and I would love it so much to have such a sculpture in my collection of Breyer horses! 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 Lovely greetings from Sarah and have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🙋💖😍🐎👌

[@MrsZen1]

I love that he went after your glove. Thank you for saving him. He's beautiful ❤️.

[@lauranolastnamegiven3385]

such an enthusiastic eventer! ears up, moving forward with confidence & happiness, looking for the next jump to fly over! :)

[@dinganddoo2]

Lucas is a beautiful example of the power of TLC. Many thanks to Ms. Macrae for the incredible job she's done ❤

[@cucumberjuice7169]

He’s so handsome oh man I wanna just give him a carrot and a good scratch ❤️

[@henrimatisse7481]

his color patterns make Lucas still look like "frozen". A lovely partnership

[@1959blee]

What a beauty!! And God bless the people who have saved all of them.

[@DJ-tb4ni]

He is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Bless you for saving him and HE Thanks You too❤🙏🏼👱🏻‍♀️

[@doreenfawcett9717]

[@WomanNextDoor]

[@annihilatedbutcomingback1119]

Beautiful, love how he changed color, hes stunning ❤❤ happy trails you two

[@flanneryred5755]

GREAT job with him! I cannot believe what an amazing color he turned into! One of my fave colors! Dapple gay paint! What a lovely solid riding partner! He was meant to be hers!

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

He's beautiful and very well loved!

[@noninoni9962]

[@KimParkerAdcock]

Look at him go, TB engine revving, ears pricked. Wonderful!

[@jekku4688]

Beautiful horse, brilliant coloring! Sounds like he has the personality to match, he's a lucky boy - and you're a lucky gal to have found him! :-)

[@elladobbyn8881]

I’ve never seen a liver chestnut piebald/pinto/skewbald tb! He beautiful

[@urgirlsuckm3gogurt]

Ella Rides Horses what horse?

[@shelbyrorrer404]

I'm pretty sure he's a greying dark bay tobiano. I'm a color nerd so I study the patterns a lot. Plus he's a crossbred tb :)

[@armoredwings4182]

@@urgirlsuckm3gogurt She's talking about color combos for horses, skewbald/piebald/pinto all mean broken coated (Think of a Paint horse breed, also I think piebald means brown-pinto and skewbald means black-pinto. Could be wrong), Liver chestnut is a dark reddish-brown color. He's turning grey though, so he won't be this color for long since the grey gene always eliminates color unless they have a "bloody shoulder" gene as well.

[@freyaaa2]

Armored Wings piebald is black and white - skewbald is brown and white 🙂

[@watermelonjuul3429]

Shelby Rorrer no he’s a gray tabinao

[@santapuledra5334]

She has done some amazing work with him and he is stunning. This story is so beautiful and inspirational, keep up the good work😍😭💕

[@mailimarechal9447]

soooo amazing and he’s so beautiful he looks like he changes colour which i love😍 i would dream to ride him

[@laikathunderchild5746]

What an amazing team you guys make. He’s a born jumper. I’m pleased to hear that the mares are in a happy home. Lots of Lucas’ around: what an amazing sight to see. Thanks for sharing 🧡

[@v9311]

Wow I’ve never seen a horse born a brown paint then turn into a darker dapple grey paint. stunningggg.

[@Grape-fruit3]

It’s actually very common.

[@cynthiadolan2358]

How wonderful to have a rescue foal grow into a fantastic jumper and trail horse.

[@terrachase3792]

He went from black to bay/chocolate and now dapple paint. Was a beautiful horse, i thought they were all different horses 😂

[@maryward3060]

He is just beautiful

[@gracesteel4463]
