The Rocking Horse has been around for hundresd of years. It is not known why why it was created, but it could have been a means to teach children how to ride, or for Knights to practice their jousting. As the mode of transport for these times was essentially by horse the rocking horse was the toy car of its' age.

The rocking horse has been made in many forms over the years and holds a special place in the hearts of both children and adults alike.

We at Bramble Corner have found a beautiful Victorian style rocking horse, hand made out of laminated Mahogany and polished brass fittings. This rocking horse is not only a beautiful toy, but a work of art with its very high standard  of finish.
