Heritage and horsepower is the theme behind this mural. The town's website and brochure describes this mural as:
"The farming community has always played a strong role in the development of Stony Plain and the surrounding area. The mural is a tribute to these pioneers and focuses on the harnessed team as the strength behind this growth."
Created by the Parkland Potters Guild, this is the second mural that they have created and placed on the west wall of the search and rescue building. The wall faces the studio used by the guild and provides inspiration to the many works created there.
