"The Black Horse" by Mark Wallinger was made based on a digital scan of a racehorse, partly owned by the artist, named Riviera Red. The horse has deep emotional and historical meaning and is perhaps an example of British identity and our relationship with the natural world. This idea was first developed at the beginning of the 18th century in England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Arabian stallions. Every racehorse in the world is derived from these.
