Last
Friday, August 28th, LDN featured this same picture in Top Stories.
We marveled at how neat the horse and buggy were, and we asked that
the owner reach out to us and tell us the story behind it.
| Before the day was out,
we heard from David Presswood. He is the horse and buggy
owner and it stands in his front yard on College Street.
When you go past his house, look not only at the buggy but
the decor on his porch as there you will find an old cowboy
sitting taking a rest, and a large collection of flower
planters hanging from antique pulleys. |
 |
Presswood tells us that the horse was a surprise gift from his
sister Judy Presswood who lives in California. He had said he wanted
a horse to put in his front yard to go along with the porch theme.
With such a fabulous horse, Presswood searched for a fantastic buggy
and found this one in Spring Bay, just outside Peoria. The buggy is
an 1800's doctor's buggy, and it is authentic, not a reproduction.
He said that the owner told him the buggy has been in a couple of
movies, but couldn't say what the titles were.
"I found the buggy a very nice piece of history and a great addition
to my collection and perfect for my yard," concluded Presswood.
Thanks so much, David, for filling in the gaps for us. BTW, he says
that he has a lot of visitors to the yard, and people even stop by
to have a photo with the horse and buggy. He enjoys having folks
enjoy his yard.
