Recently I started writing a post about the Wiltshire White Horses in the UK when I came to realize just how many there actually were. As I started visiting them via Google earth I realized I had a series of posts on my hands. Each one is interesting in their own right.
So I’m dedicating a post to each of the Wiltshire horses, as well as the various other huge artistic horses on this planet. Here is a list that I think is comprehensive & includes some pretty amazing works of art – some of them in very unlikely places.
In the coming weeks I’ll be visiting each one in more depth with pictures & a little history.

Is That All of Them?
If not, be sure to leave a comment with anything I’ve missed. My Google earth journey to find huge horses is far from over.
Some people talk about how humans and horses are linked in spirit. Well it looks like past humans held the horse in a high spot in their world.
Looking forward to reading about these larger then life horse artworks.
