A sculpture artist has created a life-sized model of a horse woven out of wire, to be displayed at the renowned Cheltenham Festival.
Rupert Till first began weaving unique structures out of “old chicken wire” in 1991, finding himself on a tight budget after leaving art school.
He now makes intricate and realistic sculptures made from galvanised steel, bronze and copper wire as an homage to his personal admiration for race horses.
He has been donating a horse sculpture to Cheltenham Racecourse for around 25 years, and feels “honoured” to see his work displayed at the sporting venue.
