I wish to thank all of my twitter family that helped with Shipping on this Horsie. I am so happy to tell you that as of Today, June 22, 2010, Horsie has made it to california and his destination. He is to be in the Auction held in Sept for the foundation. Please follow the links to BBAngelFoundation and bid on him.
For years all of the children came to play on me. I had to hold my running wild to a nice quiet speed so no one would fall off and I did my job well, after all, I am a Wonder Horse ya know?
As years went by, I was sent to the corner of the yard under a tree, where I sat and waited for someone to play with me, but my springs rusted and I fell off of my stand.
One fine spring day, I saw the family come outside and they just stared at me sitting in a pile of leaves and sticks. Oh what a feeling, I just knew they were coming to play with me once again, but they were cleaning up the yard and I went into the trash with the rest of the discarded toys and then put out on the street. The trash truck was going to get me. Little did I know that my life was about to drastically change.
Horsie's don't cry but we do wonder what will happen to us and I sure did worry for three years as I was dragged from place to place. You see, I never made it to the trash dump. Late at night, this lady was driving by and just stopped, plucked me out of the trash can and threw me in her van. Time went on and four years later I was in the top of a barn gathering my new family and giving them shelter. Spiders and Bugs kept me company as my paint faded and my little leather reins rotted off.
During a cold day in Feb, I ended up next to the wood pile. OH MY, they were going to burn me, I thought, but that wasn't so. Now, I really didn't know what was to happen but, I'm in a house now, I think, and instead of springs I have a pole that I live on and I love it. I'm up high and I can see all around.
I was cleaned and sanded and the lady covered my holes with material and glue. Rocking Horsies have holes you know, but with them covered, was I still a rocking horse? This new pole is a tent pole and my base is really heavy so I can't fall. It's an old outdoor umbrella stand and I am positive that even wind can't blow me over.
Check back often to see my progress. I'm sure the lady will tell you all about it.
I wonder what color she is going to make me and, will I get new reins? I'm supposed to be something called a Fundraiser. I'm ready for anything. I heard her say I'm recycled and she is turning me into a jewel for children. I like that.
LOOK, I'm new! No...I'm white... well, she says I'm pry-mored, whatever that is!
Hope I get some color soon, I look a little pale.
I'm a yeller horsie. My color has a name, "Palimino" Really yeller too, but I'm told, that is going to change when I am finally done. 3/3/2010Today I have been upside down so much, I'm dizzy but, look at my new saddle. It makes me feel almost like a real Horsie. Today I got shoes on my hooves, a red tongue and highlights in my mane and tail.I sure hope someone learns to love me.Tomorrow I am told that I am getting my Carousel clothes on too.See my eyelashes and my socks?I wonder when I get my new pole.
3/8/2010 This is what she calls the Carousel Clothes. Well, I relly like the colors, they look rather intersting on me but I also understand this is not the end of my painting. Seems there will be flowers? Oh, you'll just have to come back to see in a few days.
Will wonders never cease, look what she has given me now. I have flowers and vines ALL over the place. My flowers are big, she called them Hibiscus. It took forever for her to finish those vines and then, she put leaves on them. My Rump is covered.Just when I thought all of my holding still was done, she put a face plate on me. I'm so thrilled with that since now, I am a Mighty War Horse. Well, almost.There is lots more to do but I'm told, most of the painting is done now. When it is, I'm promised another makeover. I'm to be antiqued and my pole will be painted. Can you believe it? I'm gonna look old. Here are two pictures this time so you can see both sides. Can you believe what I look like? I think I'm old again. She spent hours putting some dark stuff on me AND THEN. she wiped it off. It's a human thing, I guess.I do look old now but it's OK. I HAVE DARK HIGHLIGHTS IN MY BLOOMING TAIL! Lastly I got sealed with yet another spray and now I can go outside in a garden and the rain won't hurt me. Oh I would love to sit in a garden, but now I'm so perdy I don't want the birds to sit on me and mess on me.Wonder what she is going to do to me next. I guess it's the pole. I'm sitting on the floor now waiting ... March 20, 2010 I woke up with a new pole. It's a shinny copper color and once again, I'm up high. Today was the day that I found myself FINISHED. Look at all of the new things for me.I have jewels on my face, a new Golden Chain for Reins and a Ball on top of my pole.All of these things make me sparkle. She has decorated me in glass seed beads, shells and metals.Surely someone just won't be able to live without me and I'll make someone very happy and at the same time help Special Needs Children.I'm a Fundraiser for @realscottbaio on twitter and he and his wife Renee have a special Foundation for this sort of thing. Oh, one more thing, it's official, I'm not a HORSIE any more.I'm a Carousel Horsie.I make Children Smile.
