Sack Lunch
$2,050.00
It seems a little silly that a horse would be eager to wear a bag on his head, but once they figure out there’s grain inside it can become a welcome routine.
This sculpture makes me smile to think of the horses ‘round our outfit that have figured out how to flip the bags up to dislodge any grain that might be stuck in the steam at the bottom.

The term “feed bag” is an Americanism that originated between 1830 and 1840. Back in that day, the working horse powered everything from industry and agriculture to transportation and the military. Nose bags (also called morrals) were a handy way to feed them when forage was scarce, that not only eliminated waste from food placed on the ground, but kept hungry horses from eating the wrong thing or stealing another horse’s food.
Here’s a thought: for all of our technological advances, the “greener” something is marketed to be the worse of an impact it has on the environment. Old-fashioned horse power seems to be about as green as it gets.
