Painted Pony?

Last week I was headed to Ancestor Square for a concert in the courtyard.

I've passed by this gorgeous horse many times, and should have known instantly that it was a piece by Matt Clark. However, it didn't hit me until this night. I wasn't in such a hurry and took a little more time to really give the horse a good look. It's pretty amazing. He is so talented!

"Legendary Utah High School Coach Don Lay Dies"

The Salt Lake Tribune

St. George--Funeral services for legendary Dixie High School coach Don Lay will be held Saturday.

Lay, who is enshrined in the Utah Coaches Hall of Fame, died Tuesday at his home in St. George. He was 79.

The baseball field at Dixie High is named after Lay, who coached the Flyers to their last state basketball championship in 1970.

He also coached Dixie to state baseball championships in 1973 and 1974.

Once, when asked how he wanted to be remembered, Lay replied, "As a winner."

In addition to his coaching, friends say, Lay loved horse racing and rodeo.

Donald Coleman Lay was born on Sept. 12, 1931 in Thompsonville, Utah. His parents were Joseph Coleman and Venice Bosh Lay.
