The Copper Horse, Bronze equestrian statue in Windsor Great Park, United Kingdom.
The statue depicts George III in Roman emperor attire with a laurel wreath and toga, mounted on a horse without stirrups at Snow Hill.
Commissioned by George IV in 1824, Richard Westmacott created this monument using 25 tons of brass cannons, completing installation in October 1831.
The Latin inscription on the base reads 'To George the Third, the best of fathers, King George', despite their documented mutual antipathy.
The bronze figure stands 26 feet tall on a stone base measuring 27 feet in height, positioned at the southern end of the Long Walk.
The metal structure contains an internal iron frame covered in bronze, which has developed a characteristic blue-green verdigris patina over time.
