Nothing to do with either Denmark or New Zealand!

This fine statue of man and horse was originally placed on display in Hyde Park, central London. But it had to be moved in 1883 because it got in the way of road improvements (!)

It was eventually decided to move it to the military town of Aldershot where it is displayed on its own mound.
