This full-sized fiberglass horse stands in front of Western Feed and Pet Supply, 8980 Greenback Lane, in Orangevale, CA 95662. The horse has been here since the mid-1980s, and is generally known as "Socks." There was a period where it was renamed Eileen, but that did not stick. Ask the clerk at the store for more on that temporary name.
