The Pit Horse Statue Project was born in 2015 and has since raised more than $34,000 – about one-third of the project’s estimated cost.
The project is designed to honour the legacy of the legendary pit horses that worked in the South Maitland Coalfields.
Inquiries about the project can be directed to Towns With Heart on 4936 1909.
Donations to the project can also be made online at www.gofundme.com/pit-horse-statue.
