And behold, a blue horse!
The Blue Mustang was plagued by delays and Jimenez missed several deadlines set by the Denver International Airport. Production was further delayed in 2006 when a section of the sculpture broke from its supports, fatally injuring the artist.
After the sculpture was delayed by the death of Jimenez, production continued on the Blue Mustang. Using Jimenez's notes as a guideline, the sculpture was painted blue, assembled and shipped to the Denver International Airport in 2008.
