mechanical horses
Merry-go-round mounts
Mechanical horses are coin-operated children's rides, typically found outside grocery stores and shopping centers.
The child sits astride a stationary horse that rocks or bobs gently when activated: She begged for a quarter for the mechanical horse.
The term also applies to any motorized horse substitute—from Victorian steam-powered contraptions to modern robotic equines used in therapy or entertainment.
