Equestrian statue of Elizabeth II, Bronze equestrian statue on Parliament Hill, Canada.
The bronze monument presents Queen Elizabeth II mounted on Centenial, the horse gifted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1977.
Queen Elizabeth II unveiled the sculpture during Canada's 125th anniversary celebrations in 1992, marking forty years of her reign over the country.
Vancouver sculptor Jack Harman led a team of ten artists who spent two years crafting this first equestrian monument of Queen Elizabeth II worldwide.
The statue currently stands in front of Rideau Hall's main gate due to rehabilitation work taking place at the Centre Block of Parliament Hill.
The monument depicts the Queen riding Centenial, a horse specifically trained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police before its presentation at Windsor Castle.
