He has, like so many horses of his age, lost his voice - but a bit of loving care may bring it back. Please feel free to email if interested: celtic.epiphany@gmail.com. If we get no replies soon, we'll be forced to send him out to pasture, as the local antique dealers don't have a paddock for him.

If anyone has one for sale, please contact me at 580-762-8697 or 580-749-5350. I have seen two of these in my hometown in the 1990's and earlier and one was in a backyard and I knocked on the door and asked if they would sell it and they wouldn't. I left my name & number but never heard from them. The other someone buried it in the front yard flower bed with him above ground and I tried to buy it also. No luck. later the house burned down and I guess he died also. Please help. I want him to look great and work, the voice doesn't have to but would be nice.

It seems to be a primitive, older than Blaze. It has the same type of spring rocking mechanism, a cross pattern rather than the four corner springs. The horse is made of a rubbery type plastic. You can bend the legs slightly, they aren't rigid. I have been searching the internet for several months and still can't find anything like him. I know he's really special! Have you ever heard of anything like this?

He's seen a lot of action, chipped off part of his ear, is a bit faded, the pull string broke off long before I was born and his reins broke off on one side but I wouldn't dare part with him. My son loves feeding him grass and leaves. Is there any way of getting to the voice box for repair? I know my father would like to try to hear it again.

My favorite childhood memory is feeding him pretzels through the mouth holes for the reins, and giving him drinks from a hose (he lived on the back porch). He still lives with me. I'm surprised he doesn't have a higher antique value. I was looking to sell mine, but after reading everyone's stories, perhaps I should save him for future grandchildren.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-28591716272231191602012-10-02T23:22:40.185-04:002012-10-02T23:22:40.185-04:00That's a great story!

It was love at first sight but all the ones I have found cost way more than I could ever afford :( plus they were all local pick up in other states. Finally found one an hr away from me and the old woman wanted $50 For him. The only down side is when she was moving from Ohio to Tn he got one if his back legs broken off. Even though he is missing his leg he is still the most beautiful toy in the world to me. ( next to my old tiger) just knowing that my girls will have years and years of fun with is enough for me. So what if he is a tripod. He is still one of the coolest toys ever and I hope he stays in the family for generations Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-34544731819249155762012-09-22T19:15:11.362-04:002012-09-22T19:15:11.362-04:00What a great toy story: thanks for sharing!
