Groovy

Groovy, named after a BJWRR supporter, is one of two horses on the carousel built for the W. E. “Bill” Mason Carousel. When BJWRR acquired it, the carousel needed extensive restoration. They had 29 hand-carved wooden horses and two chariots, one short of completing the rows.

To fill the gap, a fiberglass resin replica of a center row horse, crafted in the style of CW Parker Manufacturing, was made using a mold. This birthed Groovy, with another horse, Phantom, also created from the mold. The BJWRR retains the mold for future horse creations in Groovy and Phantom's style.
