My first horse was the kind you sit on and bounce the springs while holding the wooden dowel coming out of its head. Wore too big of holes for the dowel and kept getting my fingers pinched. As the story goes, got this "horse" on my 2nd Christmas, after begging for a "woking horse". Parents were so excited, my cute baby lisp didn't keep them from understanding what I wanted that year! They were so excited that they gave it to me early. I bawled and bawled, I had wanted a "walking horse".

OMG - what memories! My first horse was a cardboard, palomino horse head that
was supposed to be attached to the front of a bicycle but I used a string
through its mouth to balance it against my stomach so I could "ride"
anywhere. When it "died", I graduated to stick horses. My favorite
was Avalanche, a grey with white highlights and a white, yarn mane. When he
wasn't feeling well (or I couldn't remember where I had left him), my
other "horse" was a bay Arab. I knew he was an Arab because he had
such a pretty, arched neck. LOL!
Then there were the days that *I* was the horse, with a beautiful scarf (my
Mom's no doubt) for a tail.
