Do Carousel Horses Run Free at Night?

Burnaby BC Heritage Village is the proud owner of a 1912 Parker Circus Carousel with hand-painted horses now fully restored to their glory.The original owner of the 
Carousel was going to auction the horses off - Horse by HORSE!! - can you believe it? Thankfully a group of people said NO! and pulled together to raised the amazing sum of 350, 000 to buy the compelete Carousel, Wurlitzer included!

The piece is mixed media, paint, spray ink and digital  and I have called it: 

Do Carousel Horses Run Free at Night?

Oh I Hope So!   I like to think of them pulling themselves free from their poles and galloping off to some neighbour's field for a well deserved roll in the hay!

So Happy 100th Birthday to Scampering Dawn (the horse in this piece) ! Isn't she a beauty?
Blessings to all who have ridden on this Carousel and if you haven't yet, you should!
