You know the refurbishment of horses on merri go rounds and rocking horses is serious business. A friend got given an antique rocking horse and found out that he "had to paint it a certain colour style".

Hey Victoria. There's something very captivating about merry-go-rounds. Very olde worlde.

Hi db. Really? I didn't know that. What happens if you don't paint it in the proper colour? Do the Toy Horse Police come and arrest you?
