Recumbent stone horse, with its head up. It is represented as if alarmed, and is starting to rise from the ground.
The horse was sculpted by A. Wallace of Wallace & White, 6 Shrub Place, Edinburgh, from a model on William Dick's mantlepiece at Clyde Street. It was placed on top of the front of the Veterinary School in Clyde Street on 26 September 1833. Around 1916 the sculpture was moved to above the entrance to the McCallum Clinical Department at Summerhall, then in 1971 it was placed above Block B (Small Animal Clinic) at Summerhall.
On 17 September 2003 it was moved to Easter Bush Veterinary Centre.
