Blue Horse

This is one of 8 stunning Blue Horse Sculptures in downtown Oranjestad, Aruba
This is an outdoor art project which began in 2015 as a Tribute to Paarden Baai. In English, this means Horses Bay. This was the city’s original name in the 17th century when selling horses to Europeans became a major contributor to the economy. However, by the end of the 18th century, this trade suffered a significant decline at the hands of the French and English. Each horse represents a different strength. This mare, by artist Osaira Muyale, is named Sinforosa. She is called the martyr of the herd.
