famous horse

... called 'Blackie' contrary to appearences, and is a rocking horse that I had a go (or ten) of, way back, when I was a toddler... so I am informed, but I myself, sadly, have no memory of this!!

It used to be a children's ride in Blacklers, it's now on display in Liverpool museum!  And a fine looking fellow he is!
