Classic Rocking Horses - UK Rocking Horse Makers and Restorers

Classic New Horses on Safety Stands and Bow Rockers

Our new rocking horses are authentic copies of the best Victorian and Edwardian rocking horses which have been through our workshops for restoration. We do not attempt to improve upon the designs or the construction methods used by the original rocking horse makers, because these have stood the test of time and have been firm favourites of generation after generation.

Choose from our medium or large size, on Safety Stand or Bow Rockers, all based upon patterns taken from Ayres rocking horses selected for their elegant and disinctive style.

The Classic Dappled Grey De Luxe Rocking Horse on Safety Stand

Rocking horses in our De Luxe range are fully carved in the traditional manner and feature the additional muscle carving to the neck and top of front legs, along with the stepped hoof rail typical of the best Ayres original rocking horses.

The Classic Dappled Grey De Luxe Rocking Horse on Bow Rockers

This splendid large rocking horse, around 7 feet long overall, shows the elegant lines of the traditional bow rockers, and is a fine example from our De Luxe range of rocking horses.

Although extremely decorative, rocking horses on bow rockers do require more space than rocking horses on safety stands because the rocking action causes them to travel. For this reason we recommend safety stands where children are involved. Children under 3 years of age should be supervised at all times.
