For international show-jumping competitions, we have produced ​​a horse jumping obstacle, which represent the famous Canadian statue from the Princes´ Gates. This fibreglass Angel was milled in Polyester foam and subsequently sealed. The statue was coated with glass fiber reinforced plastic and finished with white paint.

Work Process:

The angel figure is a replica of the angel from the Exhibition Place’s Prince’s Gates in Toronto. The task was to make a replica of this Angel as a small, weather-resistant, and light angel figure to be mounted on the horse jumping obstacle.

The image research was begun using Google.

  • The freehand drawing, which was scaled to the size of 1.4 m (4.6 feet)
  • Shaping and carving the figure in Polyester foam (Styrofoam)
  • Coated with Fiberglass – this was especially complicated, because many small edges and beads must also be carefully laminated
  • Especially lightweight sculpture

Statue Princes Gates:

The Princes´ Gates, also known as the Princes’ Islands Gates, stand in Toronto (Canada), and it is part of the main entrance to the Canadian National Exhibition. The Prince of Wales and his brother Prince George inaugurated the monument in 1927. The statue is the “Goddess of Winged Victory”, a famous Greek statue, an interpretation of the original Nike of Samothrace.

Equestrian obstacles

Side Panels for Horse Jumping Obstacles

While rider and steed can let off steam without limits at the equestrian obstacles, the customer’simagination knows no bounds when it comes to the variety of shapes of these objects: Decorative elements that blend smoothly into a course also have a long tradition as advertising media. The more playfully and skilfully they fit into the equestrian event and offer nuanced variety, the more they will be appreciated by the public.

At the same time, of course, they must meet the needs and safety of both horse and human. ACCENTFORM is very familiar with these needs and manufactures even unusual objects to customer specifications with the utmost precision.
