Big Sky is a free spirit, a horse without borders. Pieces of Oregon and Montana mingle in this lively trotter whose creation is a heartfelt tribute to shared dreams and the powerful bond of friendship.

​

Inspiration for Salem's Carousel stems back to a community carousel in Missoula, Montana - the first fully hand-carved carousel to be built in the US since the 1930s. 

​

Big Sky symbolizes the past, the future and the shared dreams, energy and love of the four sponsors who friendship bonded together to bring this gift to our community.
