Explanation: A game played by Turkish horsemen was observed by Spanish crusaders, and they named it carosella for "little war". The awareness of this game found it's way into European culture where the French called this extravagant display of horsemanship and finery a "carrousel". As the concept developed, it became a large attraction to help train young men in the art of riding, and was considered a playful tournament of knights in chariots or on horseback. |

Explanation: While doing a little carousel research I found out that during the early nineteenth century, carousels were not just amusement rides, doctors actually promoted carousel rides as beneficial for your health! It had been thought that riding on a carousel helped with blood circulation. The show name I picked is a nod to that little fun fact, and the barn name is a popular name for carousel horses.

Explanation: Calliopes are responsible for the typical circus music and were often installed in carousels because the steam from the carousel powered the calliope. The instrument was named after Calliope, the Greek Muse who was often associated with music.
