Spokane Riverfront Park Collection
Riverfront Park #1
“Oliver’s Pride”, so named because it was Bill Oliver’s favorite, is one of the six “armoured” horses personally sculpted by Charles Looff for the carousel.
Riverfront Park #2
“Snow Dancer” is an example of Charles Looff’s famous Coney Island carving style, and one of the few he carved with a closed mouth smile.
Riverfront Park #3
Looff was the only carousel manufacturer to produce a tiger in this stalking, pouncing pose. Of those three, only “Sneaky” can still be seen and ridden on an operating machine. The other two are in private collections.
Riverfront Park #4
“Looffun” was always a favorite of Geri Sperling, step-daughter of Lloyd Vogel, the owner of Natatorium Park.
Riverfront Park #5
Looff carved this magnificent horse in a full gallop. “Rainbow Warrior” strains at the bit, charging into the wind.
Riverfront Park #6
“Daisy” - also known as the"Wishing Horse”. Legend has it, if you catch the Brass Ring while riding her, your wish will come true.

Dressed in Gothic style, “Chastity” boasts medieval jewelry and the signature Looff front piece in a star pattern.
Riverfront Park #8
“Cisco” - Carved in “Stargazer style”, head back and ready to lunge forward.
