Off to the side from the other mustangs and nearer the parking lot, this single mustang is a bit more subdued than the pair on the lawn, simply walking sedately through the grass at his feet. He, too, stands atop a platform, this one supported by steel legs in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. A sign on the front of the other mustangs' stele labels them as Maggie Mustangs, Maggie being the abbreviation for the school, Princess Margaret Secondary.

All three mustangs are built up of large sheets of stainless steel and finished with metal rods or pipes, possibly for structural strength. Grass on which the mustangs stand, as well as their manes, are made of cut strips of metal. A bronze plaque on the rear of the other mustangs' stele tells us that the artist was Gerhard Moser. A news item mentions that the builder was Bob Harasym.

Though the other mustangs were unveiled on May 22, 2005, we have no word of when this one was unveiled. He could have been simply added later, without fanfare.

A metal sculpture of two rearing mustangs was officially unveiled in a ceremony on May 22. The stainless steel stallions, the school mascot, were designed by retired architect Gerhard Moser and built by Bob Harasym.
