Hard Times
The sculpture "Hard Times" was built to commemorate the horseracing history of Tucson and to stand as a reminder of a time gone by. This piece represents a discarded horseshoe, simply tossed over the shoulder of the ferrier, never to be thought of again. We dont want the horseracing track to suffer the same fate.
