Its legs were broken and its stomach was split open when the horse was vandalized. The artist repainted the horse and it and gave it a new clear coat.
Another carousel horse, "Meridian's Dutchess" at Van Zyverden Inc., 8079 Van Zyverden Road, has been temporarily removed.
Thirty-seven carousel horses make up the Around Town Carousels Abound public art project. Proceeds from the sale of the horses benefit Hope Village for Children, a home for abused and neglected children in Meridian.
