Bedford High School
The Challenge, The Solution, The Results
Bedford High School's "Kicking Mule" mascot statue stands proudly at the entrance to their football stadium, crafted entirely from over 750 used horseshoes donated by the local Amish community and weighing 715 pounds of hot-dip galvanized steel. Toledo Twisted Iron designed and fabricated this remarkable sculpture while donating their time and materials, with VS Detroit Galvanizing contributing the galvanizing process to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection and durability for this outdoor installation.
Completed just in time for the 2024 homecoming celebration, this community-driven project represents both artistic achievement and environmental stewardship through the creative recycling of horseshoes into school pride. The hot-dip galvanized finish guarantees this "Kicking Mule" will continue cheering on generations of Bedford High School athletes while withstanding Michigan's harsh outdoor elements, embodying the strength and resilience of the school's mascot for decades to come.
