"My wife said I couldn’t have a real-life horse in Cranford, didn’t say anything about a mechanical horse," he told The Post.
Steve Bacque developed Western-themed toys in Texas before moving to the Garden State. Bacque, a disabled vet, hopes to manufacture and operate motor ponies across the country in the future in partnership with other veterans who have developmental disabilities.

Can I ask you a question?When you hear someone say , semper fidelis like you did .Is it an expression, that only people who are in the same military grouping are supposed to use or is it something civilians can say(like military enthusiasts).I see it a fair bit ,and I often wonder if there are that many people who serve.Or If people use it outside of its legitimate origins .

This guy is a liar. He did not invent this machine. It was built by Rodeo Zone out of Fort Worth, TX and he is pretending it was his own invention. He is not allowed to reproduce this product!
