“High Life” by R. Clay Booth embodies the elegance and precision of equestrian horse jumping. The sculpture features a woman on a horse, captured at the precise moment the horse leaves the ground, ascending vertically in a display of flawless form and athletic prowess. The rider is poised perfectly, standing slightly with knees bent, exemplifying the skill and coordination required in this elite sport. The title “High Life” reflects not only the physical height achieved by the horse but also alludes to the affluent and luxurious lifestyle often associated with competitive equestrian sports. This sculpture celebrates both the literal and figurative aspects of living the “high life,” from the adrenaline of competition to the status and sophistication of the equestrian community.
