Sadler Family "The Thunderbird glided across the sweeping plains of the West.

A harbinger of rain and new life, the great bird was both feared and revered.

The blink of its eye could cause bolts of lightning to flash; the flap of its wings could create thunder.

It was said that a young warrior both brave and fast enough to ride his horse under the bird's great shadow would gain sacred spiritual powers.

In the calm before the rains would fall, if you listened carefully, you could hear singing and the music of the Great Spirit...

"I chose the Thunderbird myth as a vehicle for this project because it evoked images of the horse and music.

The legend of the great bird is almost archetypal throughout America." This item is OVERSIZED and can only be shipped via UPS Ground.
