There are fewer things that prettier than a drover and his quarter horse working the herd. The sculpture in Pioneer Plaza captures the power and grace of this man-animal team.
Pioneer Plaza is an interesting plaza to visit. It covers 4.2 acres of downtown Dallas and is within walking distance of the convention center. At the top of the hill is an old cemetery containing many of old Dallas's founding forefathers. The highlight of this place are the bronzed longhorn steers gracing a trail down a small hillside as if on a cattle drive along with three life-like bronzed cowboys on horseback. It is the largest bronze sculpture of its type in the world. Take heed: if it's hot like yesterday, do not touch the cattle or you might burn yourself.
