Gene Galizan himself answered committee questions and assured the committee that as to safety, any sharp edges would be blunted and that he wants the trio to be safe for the public. He confirmed that although appearing similar to those located outside the Fippin Museum and on Glassford Hill, each of his horses is unique.

Moving from Wisconsin to Arizona in 1995, Jean fell in love with horses and noticed that found objects might be put together in the form of full-sized metal horses. He has been creating art since the 1960s and created these unique objects over an 11-year period. He wants to see these horses, that may well be his last sculptures of that kind, grazing in Prescott at the Peavine on the berm adjacent to the horse trailer parking area.
