Have you seen this horse statue vandal? Police need help identifying him


OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) — The Oden City Police Department has taken to social media to ask members of the public for help identifying a suspect who was seen damaging a horse statue.

Police provided a series of images captured by a security camera in Ogden, and said they are trying to identify a bearded individual who was seen damaging the statue. In two of the images provided by police, the painted horse statue can be seen standing upright.

In the third image, the horse statue appears to have been toppled over.

“This person was witnessed damaging one of the Ogden City Pioneer Days horses,” police said in the social media post.

The horse statue in question appears to be just outside of Moore’s Barber Shop on Ogden’s Historic 25th Street. The bearded suspect was allegedly captured knocking the statue down just before 1 a.m. on Sunday, July 14, based on the images shared by police.

What are the Ogden City Pioneer Days horses?

The Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo is an annual event that first began in 1934 — and each year, the rodeo sees almost 50,000 visitors, according to its website.

Ogden Pioneer Days is a celebration of “rodeo heritage” and has several traditions that come back each year — including the “Trail to Pioneer Days” art project.

“Dozens of life-size fiberglass horses designed and painted by the area’s finest artists are on display along Historic 25th Street, the Junction and Washington Boulevard,” the rodeo said. “They lead the way to Ogden Pioneer Stadium where Ogden Pioneer Days originated and where the feeling of the American West still lives.”
