Saskatchewan sculptor
Susan Velder of St. Walburg has begun work on creating the 10% larger
than life likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II riding her favorite
horse, Burmese. The Queen will be wearing the uniform of the troop
she was inspecting at the time.
The statue will be situated
in the gardens in front of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in
