Hoof Prints--Welcome to Amarillo Texas
There have been millions of horse prints through Amarillo from its early history in the old west. Even today it is not uncommon to see horses in pastures or riders along the side of the highway.
Amarillo is a city named in many country western songs, "Amarillo By Morning" and "Amarillo Sky" to name two. Many of Louis L'Amour books traveled through Amarillo. We are a unique city.
If you have spent much time in Amarillo you have probably seen beautifully painted horses here and there around the city.
Each horse is an exact replica of a Quarter Horse. They are made of fiberglass and weigh approximately 125 pounds each--which is considerable less than a real quarter horse that weighs in at about 1000 pounds.
Once a horse is complete it belongs to the person or business owner that purchased it. The cost is $3500. The average time spent from start to finish is about 6 months.
Center City matches a buyer to a local artist who creates a design for the horse. Once completed it is placed on a concrete slab and becomes a part of Amarillo's beautification project.

Riding through town you notice a few horses here and there but there are actually more than 100 horses dispersed throughout Amarillo.
