Blue Ponies

On a rural back road I found one of the last remaining carousels and its magnificent horses.

This is where the magic starts for children.

And where young girls start their obsession with horses.......

So many to ride

The Merry Go Round of my childhood had dogs, pigs, ducks, chickens, goats, sheep and....cows.

My dad would strap me on my cow or dog and he would ride alongside of me singing to the music.

When I rode on other carousels,  I always rode on a blue pony.  

Blue ponies were rare and I loved them.

And sometimes I would ride a red one.

Because I thought they were faster.

Which one did you ride ?
