The Seven Mustangs, Bronze sculpture at University of Texas, Austin, United States.
The Seven Mustangs displays seven life-size bronze horses captured mid-movement as they descend a mountain slope. The sculpture rests on a granite base with inscriptions about mustang history.
The sculpture was commissioned in 1937 but faced delays due to metal shortages during World War II before installation in 1948. This postponement reflected broader challenges faced by public art projects during wartime.
The bronze horses embody Texas heritage and connect visitors to the state's ranching and frontier past.
The artwork sits along San Jacinto Boulevard near Texas Memorial Museum and is easily reached on foot. The site offers good viewing angles from multiple positions and shade from surrounding trees.
During football games between the Longhorns and SMU Mustangs, students cover the sculpture with nets as a long-standing tradition. This ritual has become a symbol of school spirit passed down through generations.
