your pleasure on a hill overlookHarms
ing Hwy 287, three miles north
of Three Forks on Wheat Montana property.
Conceived and built by sculptor Jim Dolan of Belgrade,"
Montana is infinitely richer for this permanent gift.
As soon as the Three Forks Herald article about the horses
appeared on Facebook, a friend and I made plans to visit this
site. One can pull off the road and get out to look at the
horses or take the first westward driveway (Hilltop Vista) and
circle around in back, then walk up the hill and mingle with
the herd. The horses look so realistic we nuzzle noses and put
our arms around their necks. A spectator says, "Seeing them
is one of the most moving experiences of my life."
