Riccardo Bertelli of the Roman Bronze Works once said that Remington “always wanted to have his horses with all four feet off the ground.” Here, he succeeded. After the first eight casts were made at Roman Bronze Works, Remington changed the plaster model by lowering the shield and adding feathers; he reduced the size of the base and simplified it to save in production costs and this posthumous cast reflects those changes. The bases of The Cheyenne bronzes were cast as part of the sculptures unlike earlier Remington subjects for which bases had been cast separately and joined after casting.
