There is evidence that an early form of the carousel existed in Europe in the 12th century, although the version we are familiar with (the merry-go-round, with painted ponies and music) didn't become popular in the United States till the 1870s. The early carousels were powered by a mule or a horse. Later, carousels used steam power and then electricity.
Tradition. Many carousels have a variety of animals , and some have big high-backed benches like thrones.

English carousels typically turn clockwise. This is in contrast to carousels in many other countries, which generally rotate counterclockwise. The design choice is partly historical and reflects the direction in which horses would face when mounted.
