First there was one: a toy horse discarded in a field on the side of Old Sudbury Road. Jimmy Pingeon and Elizabeth Graver, who own the pasture and live next door, told the Boston Globe in 2015 that the prop was leftover from a Headless Horseman display they had set up for Halloween. They thought a kid might find it and play it with, but they never imagined the horse would inspire a local landmark that lives on more than a decade later.
After the first equine seed was planted, other horse toys began showing up randomly in the area. Soon a herd of rocking horses, hobby horses, and horse models filled the clearing. Dozens of ponies litter the space at any given time. You can see what it looks like in the video below.
Sometimes the horses are arranged in a circle like their stone counterpart across the Atlantic, and sometimes they're lined up side by side as if preparing to race.
Though Ponyhenge sits on private property, visitors are welcome as long as they act respectfully. One couple even got married at the site in March 2020.
To get there, follow Route 117 west to Old Sudbury Road and drive down the street for about half a mile. The rocking horse graveyard will be on your left.

Humans can be the oddest creatures.
Ha, ha. Ponyhenge tour by drone!
Hope this doesn’t give the Garden Gnome Liberation Front any ideas...
Because Xiden voters are idiots.
That’s pretty cool.
bkmk
That looks like a nice Harley ride when Springtime comes.
I like riding around the back roads of MA.
“crowd-sourced art installation”
I remember seeing a program about an island where there are dolls. Dolls sitting on the rocks, the ground , hanging from the trees- it’s really creepy.
This is kinda cool…

This, not so much.
I wonder what prompted that.
Just to be clear, the rocking horses are cool, the dolls, uh, no.
That is creepy! No way would I walk by there at night....For all I know, it could have been created by one of the characters from the movie “The Hills Have Eyes”.......
Now you finally know what all of those ancient circular sites were all about.
Rod Serling even had Twilight Zone and Night Gallery episodes about dolls that came to life, and not to do good……👿
BUT, rocking horses are kinda cool🙂
