These horses are metal sculptures on a hilltop above the Wanapum Vista Overlook near the bridge where Highway 90 crosses the Columbia River. They are made of welded steel plates and are the work of Spokane artist David Govedare.

These are full-size metal sculptures of horses poised on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River at the place where Interstate Highway 90 crosses the Columbia. The following picture shows the whole group from the car park at the turnoff near the bluff.

These petroglyphs are preserved at the Ginko Petrified Forest State Park interpretative center in Vantage, Washington. They were among the few that were rescued in 1963 when the Wanapum Dam was completed and thousands of these petroglyphs were drowned by the rising waters behind the dam.
