| Description |
This beautiful creature is a Hippocampus, a mythological animal that is half horse, half fish. Greek and Roman mythology described him as a horse that pulled the sea god's chariot. Little girls who visit the carousel call him a mermaid horse! He is a sea-horse, not seahorse - which is a kind of fish! Admired by Corey, Nina and Paris Barton while he was being carved, they determined to sponsor him and named him Guardian. Guardian is perfect! Daughter Paris loves fantasy, mermaids and princesses. Guardian is bright turquoise, Paris' favorite color. His bridle is made from light green kelp which flows down his neck. He has a long sweeping tail that curves back on itself and splits into two fins. Colorful tropical fish and a mermaid (painted to resemble Paris) ride along on his tail. |

" This carousel will consist of 52 animals and, being a menagerie style unit, will have a variety ranging from a seven foot plus tall giraffe, dogs, cats, zebras, unicorns, dragons, and yes, even lions, tigers, and bears, (oh my just to name a few)! The animals will be situated on three rows, where the outside row (large animals) will be “standers” while the middle and inside row animals (medium and small sized respectively) will be “jumpers”. Each row will also have two replacement animals and there is also five seasonal animals planned, bringing our total to sixty-three animals. The Albany Carousel is fortunate to have a 1909 Dentzel Carousel Corporation mechanism donated to our project. Our initial plan was to purchase a new mechanism that would hold 32 animals. However, Bill Dentzel, great grandson of Gustav Dentzel the founder of Dentzel Carousel Corporation, heard of our project and arranged for the antique mechanism to be donated to us. The Albany Carousel owes a great debt of gratitude to both Bill Dentzel and the National Carousel Association, the actual owner of the mechanism prior to it being donated to our project through Bill Dentzel. This classic mechanism has taken over ten years to restore to working order, every wooden gear tooth, every mirror panel, every motor that turns the carousel platform, has been meticulously restored.
