You follow a little path into a small valley and as you approach the horse begin to feel like a Lilliputian.  It is amazing to experience the size and power of the sculpture. 
It is worth the trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan to see the American Horse which was created from the same mold as the da Vinci horse that was donated to Italy.  The difference is that the Italian horse is on a platform, but this one was is on the ground and is touchable and you can even walk under it.
I have included links to the two main sites about the horses that have all the details of their history and construction.  Below are some of the photos I took in November, 1999 of the American Horse.
