Rocking Horse

For the Christmas pictures at the Salon we used the apartment above it. In there was this little guy, I forget if Stacy said she brought him with her or if it was in the apartment already. But it looked lonely, and I like taking pictures of lonely looking things, so I couldn’t resist.
Disturbingly though, it reminds me of what the rocking horse, in a short story The Rocking Horse Winner by DH Lawrence, may have looked like. In the story a little boy divines knowledge of which horses will win at the local race track by riding it until he is “finished”.
The boy is exploited by his uncle until the boy dies while riding the horse.
