We at The Carousel Store™ looked far and wide to find the best carousel horse rocker available. This is it! This horse was manufactured by a company that used to build merry-go-rounds. The horses are actual horses that were used on the commercial rides. That means they are very well made, incredibly sturdy and beautifully detailed and custom painted.
150 of these rocking horses were made by a carousel manufacturer using actual carousel horses, few remain. Once these are sold they will never be made again.
| An Authentic Merry-Go-Round Carousel Horse... |
These authentic Carousel horses (without rockers) normally sell from $4,000 - $10,000 for use on modern day merry-go-rounds. This is a one time wholesale price that will not be offered again.
Details:
Durability
These actual carousel horses are extremely durable since they were designed to last many generations on traveling carnivals.
Even large adults can ride with no problem.
Virgil Harrison
All 150 of the horses were built, painted, signed and dated by local artist Virgil Harrison. Mr. Harrison passed away in June of 2001. No more horses will be made.
Further Information:

Rockers:

Interior Decoration:
A gracious and timeless addition to any home's interior, our rocking horse adds the perfect touch in a living room, family room or child's room. There is also a wide variety of applications for commercial decorating.
Paint:
Each carousel horse has five coats. Before the first coat, the horse is hand finished with progressively finer emery cloth. The first coat is a pre-primer and conditioner. Second is the primer. Next is the base coat. Then the artist painted the horse with his chosen designer colors. Finally, a high gloss urethane clear coat is added. For durability and toughness two part urethane enamel was used.
Brass Fittings:
The spiral pole and the footings are solid brass.
