Wicked Pony

Wicked Pony
By Frederic Remington · 1898

Conflict. Grit. Untamed Force.

Wicked Pony captures a raw and dramatic moment inspired by real frontier life. A cowboy, thrown from a rank-tempered bronc, struggles desperately to regain control. Gripping the horse’s ear with one hand, the fallen rider is exposed and vulnerable as the animal lashes out with powerful hind legs.

Remington masterfully memorialized the harsh realities and unpredictable dangers of the Old West. The twisting forms and explosive movement demand to be viewed from every angle, revealing new tension and balance in each perspective. This sculpture stands as one of Remington’s most intense portrayals of human determination against untamed force.

The Regular size reflects the scale originally sculpted by Remington and remains the most detailed and popular edition.
