A Horse is A Horse….

This is an interesting title because I decided to incorporate a number of my pieces under this overall umbrella.  Right away though, I’m reminded of the Waterford Crystal Horse head I got in Hong Kong in 1996, when I went to Hong Kong and then Panang, Malaysia during my tenure at MATTEL.  I’ll never forget that trip!! (smile)

The Horse that’s rearing up on his hind legs is one that I can’t remember exactly where I got him.  However, he is a duplicate of one that I bought in the crystal shop in Disneyland many years ago, and then lost.

There is a second rearing horse that’s actually sort of attached to its crystal base.  It looks like he’s standing in some sort of tall grass.  That one is a piece that I bought during the return trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market I made last August.  Yeah….it took fourteen years for me to get back to the Rose Bowl, and it was a really cool weekend!!
