Not personally. That is a Nassau county politician (Suozzi?) with a child. But I chose that one because I remember I would always choose the horses with the roses in the mane. There were only a few of those, and every one is painted and posed different. Aren’t they beautiful?
Every horse was different, with real tails. Choosing the “right” horse was one of the great pleasures for a little girl.
They are beautiful. And yes, your childhood was blessed with sweet memories. Thanks for sharing.
