The Rocking Horse Shop

A unique little rocking horse under production!

We specialise in replica and memorial horses - including this bay which was left unsaddled but with a custom made blanket and used the old horses lead rein to complete the look😍🐴

On our open day on the 9th October - we will be proud to launch our new ‘Spirit of Lasting Life’ horse - designed exclusively for the Lasting Life Cancer Charity. The first is now rough carved and ready to be sanded in time for the big day. More details on our open day can be found on the link below ⬇️

Early stages of painting this bespoke Lines restoration in skewbald style👍🏼

Small Carved Rocking Horse on Bows - rough carved with an arbotech ready to be rasped and finished.

**TOP TIP** When fitting a saddle block on traditional horses our team always measure and cut before beginning carving. The square top body block makes it easier and more accurate to mark and cut.

The perfect Christmas present - we have some something suitable for every budget all in time for Christmas. If you are thinking about it - there is no time better than today to get in touch with our team.
