Students Build, Auction Off Horse Made From Scrap Metal

Children from Abilene's New Horizons worked with a master welder to create a piece of art that's now up for auction.

The horse stands 10 feet tall and students named it "Wild Fire". The piece of art took about 3 months to make, with people working on it 3 to 4 hours a day. It's currently up for auction, and all the money raised will benefit local children.

The welder that helped the kids put the horse together says it was a healing experience for the children.

The current bid on the horse is $800.
