The Kellogg Horse: Legacy of Stanley P. Kellogg

From 1957 through 1976, the “Mythological Horse that came Out of the Sea,” stood guard over the Kellogg Studio on Charlevoix Ave in Petoskey. Using mythology to portray natural phenomena, Kellogg’s sculpture depicted the fury of the waves during a storm on Little Traverse Bay.

Kellogg’s legacy, artwork, and the history of Northern Michigan are intertwined. As a young man, Kellogg he loved golf, working his way up to be caddy master at the Wequetonsing Golf Club. As a budding artist, he studied and worked with Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft. He later opened the Kellogg Studio. Over his lifetime he produced the horse sculpture, the world’s largest ice sculpture, multiple water fountains, realistic fish plaques, and pottery that was both practical and personalized.
