I have watched this piece on eBay for months. It's been relisted for $40.24 several times; finally, the seller put a Buy It Now on it, and I submitted a lowball bid of $25. To my surprise, it was accepted without quibble.

Freeman Leidy Circus Pony, $25, Barbara Harger, Estacada, Oregon, 10/2015
It is far bigger than I anticipated; about the same size as a Breyer.
I am trying to find out more about the Freeman Leidy company. I have seen it called one of the California Potteries, and associated with the town of Laguna Beach. Another eBay listing for this piece dates it from 1944-1955.
I have also heard that there are three different circus ponies and a wagon for the set.
Ed Alcorn has had these listed on eBay for over a year. He wants $250 for the pair!!
An image pulled from Google Images shows a purple version with green ribbons.
Another picture from eBay shows the circus wagon that goes to the set.
I'd love to have all the pieces, but I'm a $25 sort of girl! We'll see.
