Traditional Wooden Rocking Horses More Akin To Furniture

Always iconic, wooden rocking horses in some ways resemble a piece of furniture to be admired more than a toy that a child would use on a day to day basis. Having said that rocking horses have developed over the years to become much more fun and safe. Some of the designs available represent modern styled furniture - layered ply that has been curved to form undulating shapes that are smooth to the touch. Rather than the traditional style of rocking horse that more closely resembles it's living subject. Fine crafted detail that follows the lines and form of a real horse with a flowing mane and tail. Although traditional style wooden rocking horses are still made their high cost often puts them out of the range of most people. The modern variety that have utilised different materials that are cheaper can be manufactured far cheaper and are much more available to households with more modest incomes.
