Let's just say I'm glad the one mom sent us was fake:

REAL TAXIDERMY--MINIATURE HORSE
REAL HORSE NOT A TOY!

Yup, someone stuffed a real foal and the taxidermist mounted it as a rocking horse (the foal was stillborn, they didn't do anything horrible. Well, sort of.) It's got rebar in it, so it must weigh a ton. Ya know, it's not so much that they had the thing stuffed... far as I'm concerned once someone's moved on it doesn't matter much what you do with what's left. It's the rocking horse mount that gives me the willies. *shudder*

Note to horse lovers: it's not exactly gross, but it is sad and more than a little weird.
