Excellent! You did a great job painting the horse also. You've inspired me to make a complete horse and put it on rockers for my grandchildren

Jimmy D, that's the nicest compliment I've ever received on a project.
Scott, I actually bagged the horse on a moose hunting trip in northern Maine. Never found out if the animal was male or female. The pole through the back ruined the body, the only part salvageable was the head. The gentleman at the weighing station was laughing too hard to get around to weighing the animal. I got a lot of strange looks and pointing when I drove back to Massachusetts with it strapped to the roof of my Subaru. I'm having a brass plate made up with the date and name.

That thing freaks me out as much as the one's at the carousel growing up did! Great job! If you do a clown's head I may have to stop reading your posts!!

Great Job Phil.

Tri4sale, thats funny. a clowns head would be super creepy. maybe put put some electronics in the head to be able to make the eyes blink and the head turn? LMAO now that would be a good scare for any age.
