A giant white horse is to be Britain's newest work of public art. It's partly designed to welcome visitors to England. Turner Prize winning artist Mark Wallinger isn't concerned about the aesthetic effect of a 50 meter (164 ft) high thoroughbred horse. "I don't have to worry about the aesthetics of this piece.

American horse whisperer Monty Roberts agrees: "this man is a genius...there's an incredible sense of balance and symmetry to the horse". Many art critics are won over too.

"I just want people to go Wow!" says Wallinger.
