Now That's Horsepower

This man lives in Southern California and loves to visit and participate in Renaissance Faires, at which people dress and speak in the style of the 16th century. His enjoyment of such events is only slightly dampened by the fact that his mobility is largely limited to a powered scooter. What could be less in keeping with a 16th century event than a steel and chrome scooter?One day he found our web site, and got the idea of converting his scooter to a horse! He contacted us and, after a little negotiation, Merikay agreed to create a scooter-mountable horse head for him. Since the scooter’s range didn’t permit driving it up to Los Gatos, drawings were faxed and digital images emailed to ensure mountability. You can see the result to the left. The skirts (more properly, bards or bardings) were sewn by his wife.More exotic candidates for scooter conversion might include one of our dragons, dinosaurs, or unicorns. Perhaps even our bison/buffalo? via-look at this
