This statue, created by Western Australian artist Tony Jones, is permanently positioned in water of the Indian Ocean approximately 10 metres off shore from C.Y.O'Connor beach. The beach was named after C.Y.O'Connor who rode his horse in to the surf and committed suicide by shooting himself. The horse then returned to shore with his body, the statue is there as memorial to him.
