Even though this is a statue of a talented soldier it makes you feel convivial and peaceful. Maybe it is the surroundings, maybe it's the scarf around his neck or the horse's expression :)

The equestrian statue erected in honour of General Johan Laidoner, Commander-in-Chief of the Estonian Army in the War of Independence, is the first and so far the only one of its kind in Estonia. Laidoner, a prominent statesman born in Viljandi County, is the first honorary citizen of Viljandi. The author of the statue is Terje Ojaveer.
