The turning an old-fashioned crank at one end of the table pulling against the tightly clamped other end ofthe cloth vibrated, resulting in the erratic movement of several, probably highly toxic lead, model horses frozen in mid-gallop. Some wobbled sideways and off the table, one landed on the cats sleeping head, but some did actually head forwards for the finishline.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the falling over and the height of the table to fall from, most my lead horses had broken legs and sticky tape, so it looked more like a grand national for the RSPCA horses by the end of it.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/escalado\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/escalado-game-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Escalado\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/escalado-game-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/escalado-game-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/escalado-game-377x300.jpg 377w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/escalado-game.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>The game Escalado : Now i only know about this as i picked up at a car boot sale as a teenager and i have to say i haven&#8217;t seen it around much over the years, but i can imagine &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/escalado\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[60,61,56,57],"class_list":["post-105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-toys","tag-60","tag-61","tag-56","tag-57"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Escalado - Anyone remember this Horse Racing Game for Real?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Escalado Horse Racing Game from the 1920s.
