Carousel (also spelled carrousel) started its English life in the mid-17th century, when it referred to an exhibition in which troops of horsemen executed various movements to create arrangements—the modern reader may imagine synchronized swimming but medieval, on a field, and performed by costumed men on horseback.

Some ears on the reproductions are removable; authentic ears were not removable. Ears on authentic carousel horses are realistic and well proportioned to the head. Many original ears are surrounded by other masses of wood such as manes, harness, bridles or other features for added protection and support.
The sweeps (arms or umbrella-like ribs) of the carousel are suspended from the top bearing, and two rods extending down from each sweep support the platform. About half-way down the center pole is a center bearing or hub that keep the works from shifting from side to side.
Carousels rotate on a stationary center pole and are powered by electric motors. The electric motor spins a small pulley, which drives a drive belt and a larger pulley. They have cranks connected to horse hangers and move horses up and down as the carousel rotates.
Price: A “backyard” 12-animal carousel is about $70,000. Commercial sizes can cost nearly $1 million. A single wooden animal runs anywhere from $3,500 to $9,000.
