Rocking horses explained
Many of us will remember having a rocking horse as a child. And if you had one, you are likely to remember it fondly. In the days where every toy seems to go through batteries like nobody's business, or be made from hundreds of parts and do elaborate things like shoot laser beans or be remote controlled, it is worth remembering that sometimes the old ones are the best. Rocking horses come in hundreds of shapes, sizes and colours, but as far as traditional toys go, it is a pretty unbeatable design due to the simplicity. As it is a one-piece horse carved from wood or shaped from some other material simply mounted on rockers, there is not really much that can go wrong with it. There is no need for any power supply and children have been having fun on them for many generations.
The rocking horse has been a staple of child entertainment for several centuries. There is evidence to suggest that certain models were used in medieval times. Predecessors included the hobby horse, in the form of a carved equine head on a stick which sometimes also was mounted on wheels, or a costume used for carnival-like celebrations such as May Day celebrations. The rocking horse appeared in its current form in the 17th century, and has been very popular since the building process was industrialised in the 19th century. However, constructing one remains a common amateur woodcrafter project and handmade models can still be found today. Carved models can often embody fine craftsmanship and joinery skills, and be decorated in many styles.
Rocking horse accessories include soft padded saddles which aid comfort, as well as synthetic hair for an authentic looking mane, as well as stirrups and other accoutrements to make it seem more realistic. So whether you are a traditionalist favouring simplicity or a fan of grand contemporary designs, there will be something to suit you.
What rocking horse should I choose?
It is really a matter of preference when it comes to the design of your rocking horse, but I believe it is always better to choose handmade pieces. The craftsmanship is there to see and the investment in quality will pay dividends in future generations. One firm which cares about quality is Kidsplanet24.co.uk. They stock a range of handmade toys, including traditionally carved rocking horses, as well as beautiful nursery furniture and baby bedding accessories.

I want an old rocking horse from a council play area?
In the 1980's, childrens play ares in public parks often included a long iron rocking horse with 5 seats that everyone would jump on and rock to and fro on. Many have now been scrapped over safety fears (I assume). I would love to have one in my garden just as a focal point. Where do I start looking? Thanks for any help.
Aww I loved them. If you get one can I come round and have a go?
