The Carousel in Kayderoos Amusement Park, Saratoga Springs (NY) was built circa 1904 and carved by Marcus C. Illions - "the Master Carver" of the carousel world. Born in Lithuania in 1871, Illions worked as an apprentice woodcarver at the age of eight and later journeyed to America on a contract to carve show wagons. Upon completion of his contract, Illions chose to remain in states where he soon became a recognized carver of church and building facades in New York. This carved horse is from one of six remaining Illion carousels and the only "two in a row" in existence.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
For every child, there is one.
A single mount that holds all of their zeal, smiles and anticipation. It is this one, the one they watch go round and round, until their spritely steps allow their lttle hands to touch the golden pole as they're lifted to the saddle. It is this one that they seek, the others - far less than important and dark in comparison.
Listen, can you hear the sounds? Describe them.
