The artist for "Healthy as a Horse" was Wendy Dimick. The Ogden Regional Medical Center paid $4,000.00 for the horse to assist the artist with its construction.
The horse was originally displayed on Ogden's Historic 25th Street. Every year the city gathers up the horses and stores them for the winter and then will replace them in new locations around the city. (see waymark WM51F6 for the former location). This is healthy's new location, at least for this year.
