horse of a different color - part 1

How totally awesome is this horse sculpture? It's made entirely from found metal objects welded together. I saw it when I was up in southern Utah for Thanksgiving, but I regret I did not find the artist's name. The talent he or she must have to create a project of this scale incorporating all those elements... wow.
I love the outstanding interest all the colors and textures the found items bring to this sculpture. A welded sculpture of a horse would have been interesting in itself, but how much more exceptional is this! Whether you can recognize specific elements or not, it is such a pleasure to look at.  
This is the first horse of a different color I'm going to feature, 
but stay tuned for a completely different one!
