A New Look at an Old Favorite

Children don’t even care about how a wooden horse is made, they just enjoy them. Being a kid at heart, plus having the benefit of age. I had to know what goes in making a horse. I always thought that they were just ‘there’. Boy was I wrong. Found out that It all starts with a block of wood. Just like a slab of stone or a blank canvas.
