I grew up on a Carnival actually my Dad worked for several shows before he was an owner operator . I was a Horse crazy little girl and I was always asking him to buy me a Horse, his reply was always the same you have 36 horses out there that I don't have to feed ! So when I bought my first horse I couldn't wait to tell him! I called the house and asked the housekeeper where the show was, she said your in luck they're not to far from you. So during my visit I told him I bought a Horse ! he smiled and said hold on a minute, and walked away when he came back he handed me a pair of stirrups off a Merry-Go-Round horse, probably a broken one in the trailer. he said you'll have to get your own leathers! every time I look at these stirrups I smile and think of my Dad and how much I miss him
