"Pioneers in Public Service" is part of the Horse in the City project. This is a rearing horse sponsored by OG&E and displayed on the front lawn of the OG&E District office at 1300 N. Kennedy. It is a beige horse, with scenes of electric poles and lines, houses and the Shawnee Mill. The artist is Valerie Conway.
In 2007, the City of Shawnee sponsored the Horse in the City program as part of its Public Arts Project. Life-sized fiberglass horses were sponsored by companies, organizations and individuals in the Shawnee area. Choosing one of four poses (Standing Thoroughbred, Standing Arabian, Grazing and Rearing), each sponsor worked with an artist, designing how their horse would be painted. Some depict paintings specific to the sponsor's business or interests, and others depict Oklahoma history and other generic designs.
The horses are displayed throughout the City of Shawnee and it is such a joy to suddenly spot one alongside the road. Enjoy finding as many of these as you can.
