We do not attempt to improve upon the designs or the construction methods used by the original craftsmen, because these have stood the test of time. 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. This De Luxe rocking horse, commissioned by an English Earl for his granddaughter's birthday, is based upon a fine Ayres rocking horse of circa 1880.
Colours shown are approximate.
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. The Classic Dappled Grey Standard Rocking Horse Rocking horses in our Standard range are built to exactly the same high standards as our De Luxe rocking horses, but are offered without the extra muscle carving and the stepped hoofrail. This particular rocking horse has no saddlecloth, but you can choose from the full range of suede colours shown above. The Classic Chestnut Rocking Horse To meet the wishes of clients who prefer a polished wood rocking horse, we offer the De Luxe Classic Chestnut, in stained and polished tulipwood at the same price as the dappled grey.
