Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies -George, WA Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies is a sculpture of 15 wild horses that has crowned a prominent Central Washington hillside for more than a decade and is an inspiring sight for travelers along I-90 as they enter Grant County from the west.
The 200 foot line of life-sized charging horses, a creation of David Goverdale of Chewelah,WA, captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes. The scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.
The artwork can be seen from viewpoints along I-90, about 2 miles east of the Vantage bridge over the Columbia River.
The eastbound off-ramp has a rough path that leads a quarter of a mile to the Wild Horse Monument.
The westbound traffic only has a distant view; PLEASE DO NOT CROSS THE FREEWAY!!!!
Make a 10 mile loop by driving down to the freeway exit at the east end of Vantage Bridge, then drive east to the George exit to turn around.
