Stop by and see Thunder, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5!

Thunder is an American Cream Draft Horse, developed in Iowa in the early 1900s. In logging days, draft horses did much of the hard work in the Adirondacks. They still work here. When carousel aficionados visit, it is most often Thunder who catches and keeps their eye.
It is unusual to find a draft horse on a carousel and rarer still that it be an American Cream. But it’s his face that does the trick. Most carousel horses have a facial expression often described as “pained”. Not Thunder. Thunder has the best draft horse job in the world!
📣Fun Fact: In carousel terminology both Thunder and Paws are “Standers”. Bubbles is also a Stander. Standers go around but they do not go up and down. Animals that do go up and down are called “Jumpers”. Stationary seats on a carousel, such as a bench (or a boat) are called “Chariots”.

Want to know a secret? Promise not to tell?
BUCK IS A 100 YEAR TIME CAPSULE!
Who will open it? We don't know.
Will ANYONE open it? We don't know.
What's inside? Several items. The carver inserted present-day (2011) memorabilia to be discovered in 100 years. The only item we know about is the carver's business card. He left it "in case they need someone to make repairs at that time."
