WYOMING (WY) AMUSEMENT / THEME PARKS

Cowboy Carousel & Amusement Park - The frame is a 1925 Spillman Carousel manufactured 8t North Tonawanda, New York. It ran for 63 years on Gillian's Fun Deck in Ocean City , New Jersey. The horses that are now on the machine are fiberglass reproductions of original wood carvings by Buffalo wood carver Bill Jennings. The lead horse on the carousel is painted to represent Steamboat, the famous Wyoming bucking horse. Steamboat bucked at Cheyenne Frontier Days from 1903 to 1914 and was ridden twice in his career. The Indian pony is Little Soldier, a pony ridden by a Crow scout at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The Indian symbols painted on the pony represent various Indian signs to assist the horse in battle.
