In 2000 we were asked to restore a family heirloom, a splendidly carved Ayres rocking horse on safety stand, called 'Mr Dapple'. The owners were delighted with the result and asked us to make a copy, but this time on bow rockers, to be known as 'Mrs Dapple'.

Working from memory and using photos taken by us during the course of restoration of the original on safety stand, we were able to design appropriate templates for the new body and suitable bow rockers.
