History of Las Colinas

. . . . Ben knew wildlife sculptor Robert Glen, a Kenyan-born Scotsman who lived and worked in Nairobi, and he owned a few of Glen's works. In 1976, while Glen was visiting a mutual friend in Dallas, he paid a visit to Ben at Hackberry Creek Ranch. Ben told Glen that he had an idea for a sculpture of "a herd of horses with some water," and asked the artist to do some sketches.

Glen instead made a small scale model of six horses running through a stream, with aquarium fountain jets supplying the water that splashed around their hooves. Two months later, when Ben saw the model in Glen's Nairobi studio, he studied it in silence for several minutes, then simply pointed to three places where he wanted to add more horses.

Robert Glen was a well-established artist when he took the commission from Ben Carpenter in 1977, but he had never undertaken a project of such monumental scope. Creating nine horses at one-and-a-half times life size would take seven and a half years of intense work. . . .
