This time of a mother and her two children, could be a colt (Boy) and a filly (Girl), or two colts, or 2 fillies. They are mid 20th century, in the modern era's brutalist design. They are hand forged from sheets of iron and cut, formed, and carved to the most delightful horse sculptures.

The rusty patina adds to their glamour and increases the depth of their beauty.
