This is the beginning of what my wife and I hope will be a big stable of horses (one for each grandchild). The curly maple one is Trey's (Thomas III, a.k.a. t3) and the curly cherry one is Ainsley's.
Very cool. Someone made my daughter one and she wouldn't give it up, even after she was too big to ride it. We kept it until we could find someone to give it too. It is still in use after almost 25 years.
Your grandkids will cherish them and you making them.
