Sculpture that shows a man that will sit up on his horse. He has already has placed his feet in the path ring. This granite sculpture has led an exciting life. In 1998 it was blown to bits by vandals and repaired by a skilful stone restorer. Up again, it was once more pulverised and the same craftsman had to fix it all over again. The statue is a present of Eva Bonnier's donation board.
