Answer Hi Linda,
You can purchase a quality tail from Ken and Barb Weaver of Weaver's Antiques in Pennsylvania. Contact them at: barbmgr@aol.com.
The best source for "special" higher end carousel figures would be Rusty and Emmy Donohue of Americana Antiques in Oxford, Maryland. They have a website where you'll find their contact information. http://www.americanaantiques.net
To have your horses clear coated in Connecticut, contact the New England Carousel Museum at (860) 585-5411 . Louis DeMars is the one to talk to there. Her restoration artist, Juan Andreau will do a fine job for you.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
