In 2006, the Pioneer Coastal Arts Project launched a series of interpretive sculptural artworks installed along the foreshore between Mentone and Mordialloc, with the iconic Horse sculpture as a focal piece. The vision was to create a distinct and memorable series of public art that would enhance civic pride through a tangible legacy reflecting the history of the area. A cast bronze sculpture of a horse standing 16 hands high, located at the end of Bay Street, Mordialloc was inspired by the memories of racehorses being exercised in the water along the foreshore. The Horse sculpture is arguably Kingston’s most iconic public art, enjoyed by the many daily users of the Bay Trail.
