Rocking Horse
Winchendon, MA
The original Rocking Horse was built in 1912 by Morton Converse, the owner of the big toy company in town. The 12-foot-tall grey hobby horse was named "Clyde" and made from nine pine trees. It was a copy of the company's #12 rocking horse. In 1914, the statue was entered in the local parade to celebrate the town's 150th anniversary. Winchendon was considered the toy production capital of America and nicknamed "Toy Town". The statue was moved to the railroad station for about 20 years. Then in 1934, it was moved to the Toy Town Tavern for about 30 years. After that, the statue was put in storage and fell into disrepair. In 1988, a new 12-foot-tall horse was produced, using the original as a model. This statue was named "Clyde II" and put in the covered pavilion where it is today. For more, see this website. [map]

Wisconsin Dells, WI		 Caesars Palace

The Trojan Horse is a 65-foot-tall wooden horse with strobe light eyes. He was built in 1998. He stands in front of the Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park. I believe this is the go-kart track going through his belly. There was also a Trojan here. For more, see this website. [map]
