Horse Bronze Statue
Where can I find a picture of that bronze statue of a horse jockey/youth once so popular on "classy" lawns?
Or, tucked next to a shrubbery near the front entrance. Saw it everywhere when I was a kid back in the '80's Bonus points if you can tell me what the cultural significance of this once ubiquitous statue was.
I assume the bronze horse jockey you refer to is the yardell or Jocko. The almost half scale lawn jockey with his arm out as if holding the reigns of a horse. Sometimes seen holding a lantern or flag in their outstretched arm.
Searching Google images ("lawn jockey", "yardell", "bronze lawn jockey", "Jocko") yields an array of interesting results. The following link has a picture of a collection of yardells:

There are many interesting cultural roots and references associated with these yard ornaments including Jocko Graves, and as markers for "safe houses" along the underground railroad.
Although considered taboo by some, the yardells are considered by others to represent a positive image.
Thanks for prompting my research on this subject, interesting stuff.
