Carousel Adoption Program
Adopt a piece of history, create your own legacy for generations to come.
At the core of our fundraising activities is a classic multi-tiered adoption program, with the ability to “adopt a pony”, “adopt a chariot, “adopt an art panel”, adopt virtually all parts of the carousel. Adopter recognition is a principle component of the program, and every adopter’s name will be findable on the carousel.
Adopt-A-Pony
We have three pony adoption levels, based on whether the ponies are the bejeweled outside row ponies, or are on the middle and inside rows.
All pony adopters will have a brass recognition plaque located near the adopted pony, the right to “name” the pony (name to be painted on the back of the saddle), and input as to the color scheme of the pony. Flexible payment schedules can easily be accommodated, as can group adoptions. As part of our program, the outside row pony # 1 is designated for “Community Adoption”, so everyone who wants to participate in adopting a pony has the ability to do so.

|---|---|---|
| Outside Row Horses | 12 | $16,000 |
