As we now live in a safety conscious society, it is quite evident that really none of us should have ever survived our childhood! grin! Nothing makes this more obvious, then when our kids get to play on some of our old toys!
For example: We ended up getting Cheyenne--Candy and Steve were kind enough to bring her out when they moved out here! We searched around the house and found the nuts and bolts we had been given at an earlier date to put her together with. She was very well loved by Bry and his siblings, and now is very well loved by Mircea and Casper. Other horses, that are newer, just don't have the same experience that Cheyenne can offer. All of her springs are exposed, some of the bars to climb on aren't fixed in, so they make climbing aboard that much adventurous, and the potential to fly over the handle bars is quite high (Bry says we just need a bean bag chair to land in). I have to say, I believe that she is probably one of the favorite toys in the house!

I wish that horse had an odometer!! She was ridden more miles then most cars are driven, I am sure.
I remember Bry just bouncing along, singing... many an hour... but then there was the flips that was done from her back - yes into the bean bag! :>)
New springs were put on a couple times... and her leg was taped on... but even with only three legs she didn't slow down a bit!!
Ahhh the memories.
Just love her! :>)
By the way - she was gotten for Bryan when Craig was born.
Cheyenne's older sister (unknown name) currently resides at our house. She has been around for at least 40 years. Many a small item (hair pretties, especially) disappear down the "pipes", and the most adventurous part of the experience is attempting to climb off - Mya has ruined several pairs of tights and leggings by getting stuck on the exposed spring and ripping big holes in them. Yes, how did we ever grow up!? :D
