This sculpture depicts a horse with two huge discs on either side of it. The work is by artist Christopher Le Brun (b. 1951) and is titled "Union - Horse With Two Discs". According to a placard at the site, this image is common to Le Brun's works and is intended to suggest travel. A quote from the artist reads:
"When you talk about horses and riders in my work it is important to me that they are not seen as real...I think of it as an entrance, or key to the place that I want to enter. It's as if 'the horse' enables the journey rather than providing the final subject."
