The background for the outstanding Nebeker bronze creation:

"Many ranches breed and raise large numbers of horses (their Remuda) which the ranchers and cowboys use every day to perform their varied tasks. The working cowboys have very specific needs and wants when they are choosing the horse they use for working on a ranch, competing in a roping event, going to a “Ranch Rodeo”, gathering and branding cattle, or even chasing wild cows and Mavericks. A cowboy looks for just the right composition, endurance, speed and savvy needed, and often has his favorite horse from the Remuda. Many modern ranches, especially the bigger outfits, are breeding and training very fine, well-trained horses. This bronze sculpture depicts one of these specially bred horses that could be used for several of these events and is “The Pick of the Remuda”."
