Cowboy Artist of America Bill Nebeker’s “If Horses Could Talk” sculpture—truly a sculpture that appeals to all—depicts a cowboy using his binoculars to look for a deer, while his horse looks down at the deer, which is under the rock ledge behind where the cowboy is seated.

The average American spends nearly half a day staring at a screen. A 2018 Nielsen Company audience report revealed that adults in the United States devoted about 10 hours and 39 minutes each day to consuming media.
