Remmington's second model depicting an Indian was one of the first sculptures conceived for casting exclusively at Roman Bronze Works. Completed and copyrighted in 1901, the bronze was cast with the lost -wax technique which allowed the sculptor to model highly textured surfaces. The tour-de-force of balance and casting with all four of the horse's hooves off the ground reflect the joint artistic and technical efforts on the part of the sculptor and foundrymen.

According to the Roman Bronze Works' ledgers, the present example left the foundry on December 1, 1915.
