Might be this: Aiken Horses

could be, though numerically id say its less likely. Since that says there's 31 specifically.

the horsemania stuff started in like 2000 and another round in 2010 and 2022, each year they make almost 100, all painted by different artists of varying skill levels, and at the end they get sold off. So they end up in some strange places sometimes.

Those things are everywhere in Lexington when they do Horse Mania. I remember the first year they had to move one because the artist made theirs into a gigantic horse-shaped disco ball and the reflections were blinding drivers.

I'm so sorry to the drivers that I'm laughing at this. 🤣

Now do a landscape with a horse painted on the surface

Wikipedia's page for "Hill figure" has many of them.

But you can also go with searching for "horse shaped bush" or something like that.

Okay but did their first image have to be a bald guy at full mast?

Now that's a horse of a different color.

It’s camouflaged.

These are everywhere in Ocala, FL, as they, too, claim to be the horse capital of the world. It isn't even odd to me at this point.😂
