Corn Stalk Horses Pull Two-Wheel Cart FARM HOME Novelty Items 23-1-34 My wife Betty and I made this display a couple of years ago. It generated so much interest, including a front page photo in our local newspaper, we decided to make it an annual "fall display" at our farm.
It consists of a pair of corn stalk horses pulling a two-wheel cart that we filled with produce from our garden.
The horses are about 4 ft. high and 7 ft. long and each is constructed out of a hundred or so corn stalks. I built wooden frames for the horses, then simply nailed the corn stalks to the frames. I made bridles and harnesses out of black vinyl, the kind used for upholstery, and stapled it to the horses.
I built the cart, which measures 8 ft. by 4 ft., out of plywood and 1 by 6's. It rides on two old hay tedder wheels. We filled it with small square straw bales, pumpkins and gourds. The "driver", incidentally, is a pair of old stuffed coveralls onto which we fixed a head. (Charlie Gaerke, 2936 Philothea Rd., Fort Recovery, Ohio 45346-9519; ph 419 678-8129)
