  Our Rocking Horses

'The Current Collection' 

 While the tradition of a rocking horse is no lost art, it is a sad fact that the beauty, grace and friendliness is lacking in many present day reproductions. As you will see from our web site our rocking horses combine all these qualities and in particular our rocking horses exude a friendly warmth which is very much commented on by our customers. This beauty and elegance is achieved in part by our artist who insists on hand painting every horse. Real horse hair is used for both mane and tail. Such beautiful horses deserve the best tack and therefore we employ a master saddler from the UK town of Walsall, famous for its saddlery.
