United States Flag Horses (Page 1 of 2)
The American Flag horse was a recurring theme for carvers and painters
of Carousel figures. Besides making a statement of enthusiasm and patriotism
for the parks and patrons, many carousel creators were recent immigrants,
proudly embracing their new country.
This section is dedicated to the memory of those
of all nationalities who died and in honor and those who survived and serve
in the aftermath of 9/11/2001.

San Diego CA: 1910 Herschell Spillman menagerie carousel; two inner row jumping
horses decorated with the U.S. Flag; not common for inner row horses which
