When Camelot Executive Director Eileen Szychowski commissioned a bell, it seemed natural to use the nonprofit organization’s own “homegrown” steel. Many horseshoeings later (“More horseshoes! Yes, more horseshoes!”), a bell was born.
Contributing to this sculpture were Camelot steeds Scout (Pinto), Bravo (Mustang), Fast Lane (Tennessee Walker) and Acapulco (Thoroughbred).
Full Gallop invites disabled students to mark the beginning and end of their lessons with a wallop. And they do. “Many of them have never had the opportunity to swing a bat or hit something as hard as they want,” observes Camelot’s Founder Eileen Szychowski.
A gallery photo shows Full Gallop in the distance with a juvenile Great Horned Owl perched nearby in 2024. Yes, the owl is real.
