[4] Around 2012 the Curtis family sold approximately 650 acres of the farm to the University of Georgia, but retained a 20-foot by 20-foot section where the horse they then owned stood.

[11] In spring of 2024, the concrete pad to which the sculpture had been attached was broken up, and the Iron Horse was transported to Athens, Georgia.

On November 22, 2024, the restored sculpture was transported back to the Iron Horse Plant Sciences Farm and installed on its former site on a new concrete plinth.

[13] In February 2017, a study created at the farm was released, which consisted of the use of drones to analyze the genetic data found in crop yields.

[14] The early history of the sculpture was depicted in the 1962 National Educational Television film, Pegasus Without Wings[15][16] as well as the 1980 William VanDerKloot documentary, Iron Horse.
