Who Is Hauling A Horse Butt Statue Around Las Vegas?

Author Shawn Tempesta

Living in Las Vegas comes with its own set of sights. While Columbus and Oklahoma City are impressed by the likes of the Wienermobile cruising their streets, here in Vegas that’s simply pedestrian. A Star Wars Landcruiser cruising down Rainbow? Meh. But occasionally something so unique is spotted on our roads that we have to ask the question: who was driving around with a horse butt statue in Mountain’s Edge on Saturday?

The mystery of the Las Vegas Horse Butt

The statuesque rear end of a horse was seen by myself (hey I’m Shawn from Aimee+Shawn) Saturday morning in the Mountain’s Edge neighborhood. Obviously the piece is absolutely massive… but that’s not the whole thing. Sadly, the horse lost its head. Maybe the head was inside the cab, maybe they plan on making a second trip for the dome. Maybe it was lost in a poker game. Whatever the case, all that was left was the posterior and torso. It still looked majestic.

The driver obviously kept the horsey well secured. Strapped down several times and caressed by hay bails (of course), it seemed pretty secure on the back of the pickup truck. There was even a piece of red cloth on the horse statue’s tail to help surrounding drivers spot that they are dealing with the business end of a horse.

Was this horse for sale? Was it living in Mountain’s Edge and sold on OfferUp? Does the driver just drive with most of a horse statue’s body for giggles? The world may never know. What we do know is it’s one of the greatest things we’ve seen on the road and we will not rest until we see that glorious galloper’s head.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

It was a week of road trips, rejection and really toxic relationships on Aimee+Shawn!

Shawn is getting tired just looking at the school spirit days schedule for his son’s Kindergarten. Themed days a-plenty, a full closet of props needed, and while he doesn’t get Colin ready for school, it is still overwhelming to him. Turns out, a lot of parents feel that way.

Aimee’s son told her about a phenomenon that is supposedly happening all over CCSD schools. Supposedly kids are putting their phones above the stalls, taking pictures of students poppin’ a squat, and putting them on social. We aren’t sure, but we think that might be incredibly illegal.

Shawn’s dad is on a cross-country road trip from Las Vegas back to his home near Boston, Massachusetts. He drives to Nevada because he wants a car for his 3-4 month visit (plus he’s petrified of flying). But at 77 years old, the drive is taxing on him. So we called him every day to make sure he was doing alright. By the end of the week, we think he might need a psychological evaluation.

A couple set a whole bunch of fires along the Las Vegas Strip, and the guy in the relationship blamed her. Why’d she do it? He says she lights fires when they argue. Wow. That sounds healthy. But when we think about it we know plenty of people in tumultuous relationships that shouldn’t be together anymore.

Both Aimee and Shawn aren’t necessarily feeling the love from their kiddos this week. Shawn’s kids want to be with mom more. Aimee walked through the front door and almost got booed by her 4 year old Roman. Cmon! Give us a break!

Next Week on Aimee+Shawn…

If you thought this week was good, wait until we have tickets to see Jonas Brothers “Five Albums One Night” at MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 8th. Not one pair. Not two pairs. THREE PAIRS at 7:35, 8:35 and 9:35! Plus get your share of $125,000 in the 102.7 VGS $1000 Stimmy Check!
