The Handmade Rocking Horse

This is the traditional rocking horse handmade by Meier, a family business that has been building riding animals and wooden toys in Germany for three generations. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer and designed to endure as an heirloom, this classic stallion has a sturdy frame of composite wood and solid poplar underneath its sewn plush coat, topped off with a flowing black mane and bushy tail. The laminated wood support skids are steam bent by hand to a gentle arc, providing a smoother ride for greenhorns than jumpy spring horses. Little cowboys and cowgirls ride this horse as they would a live pony, by placing their feet in the stirrups and grasping the reins. The horse’s tack is made of synthetic leather while the saddle blanket is soft felt. Supports riders up to 110 lbs. Ages 3 and up. 25 3/4" H x 12 1/4" W x 36 3/4" L. (11 lbs.)
