As the title of the piece suggests, this bronze sculpture features a Spanish horseman of the mid 1700s. Meticulously researched for accuracy in dress and accoutrements, the horseman bears an authentic costume including cross stirrups and large rowel spurs. He carries a lanza de media luna as you might have expected to see a horseman carrying as he herded cattle along the banks of the Rio Grande River some 250 years ago. The base of the sculpture includes fourteen cattle brands belonging to families between the 1660s and the 1820s from the Province of Nuevo Santander in the New World including the settlements of Mier, Reynosa, Camargo, and San Antonio.
