“Horses make a landscape more beautiful “- Alice Walker
And so for 3 weekends (2 in September, 1 in October) we drove around the Caledon area chasing the Headwaters Horses. Headwaters Parade of Horses is a whimsical and unique series of outdoor horse sculptures featuring 28 fiberglass horses transformed through the creativity of talented artisans. These magnificent sculptures have been vibrantly brought to life to reflect the spirit of the Headwaters. Each statue stands at 15 hands and measures 18 inches wide (chest), 8 feet 3 inches in length, 6 feet at the highest point, and weighs 150 pounds. (From Headwaters Horse Country website).

Titan of Magnificence – 19815 Airport Road, Caledon . This was actually the first horse we saw a few months ago while driving for another reason and destination. We did not stop but kept the image in mind and thought there must be other horses as pretty as this. This horse led us to some research and found the Headwaters Parade of Horses website.
There are 28 horses – 2 are with private owners and 1 we simply cannot locate despite checking the location. We have visited 20 horses so far and 5 we still have to chase in another weekend.
