This lovely dapple grey shows the elegant, yet friendly and playful posture which so typifies our fine traditional rocking horses.

         

 

 

   

These 'Salisbury' rocking horses are hand-made by experienced rocking horse maker, F. N. Gardner, and are considered by many to be the world's most graceful dapple grey rocking horses. These rocking horses have poise and exceptional carving detail.

         

 

   

Our dapple grey rocking horse has a detailed and friendly face and a warm personality. It is loved by children, but has a rich detail and sophistication which makes it the ideal choice for adults too. It is the rocking horse choice of horse lovers.

         
     

The swinger or safety stand, on which the horses above are mounted may offer greater practicality, particularly if space is a consideration, but there is an inherent elegance to the bow rocker. This horse features removable leather tack and a sheepskin numnah, a combination which often finds favour.

         

 

   

Mounted on a deeper bow rocker in early 19th century style, this horse is a lovely replica of a Georgian or early Victorian rocking horse. Subtle antiquing is an option which is often selected by clients to add to the character of any dapple grey, but the more pronounced antiquing adds great period charm to this horse.

         
     

The mahogany rocking horse offers a gorgeous alternative to the dapple grey. This is not just a rocking horse, but also a superb piece of classic furniture - painstakingly and lovingly French-polished in the traditional manner by a skilled expert, who eschews the brush-on 'alternatives' used by others.

         
     

Like the dapples, these beautiful mahogany rocking horses represent superb value for money. Indeed, given the excellence of their design, carving and finish, this may represent the best value rocking horse to be found anywhere in the world.

         
   
 

The western saddle is an option which adds to the fun of a rocking horse. Crafted by an expert, the design and the quality of the traditional craftsmanship lives up to the highest standards set by the rocking horses themselves.
