DAPPLE-GREY
ROCKING HORSE
From the mid-nineteenth century until the first world war, the dapple-grey was by far the most popular choice of finish for an English Rocking horse.
With a flowing mane and tail and large, amber glass eyes, our Dapple-Grey horse comes to life in the imagination of a child. This magnificent horse is a work of art as well as a child’s best friend. He will grow older with your child and thrill generations of children to come. A family heirloom now and in the future.
options and ordering
All of our horses are handcrafted, hand-carved, painted and finished in High River, Alberta. Bob offers customized service to make a horse for you that is truly unique. These customizations include head and neck posture, and a range of colours and materials for the mane, tail, eyes, tack, stand, and fittings. We use real, sterilized horse hair on our traditional, wooden rocking horses in your choice of colours (Blonde, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Black, and Brown).
The overall colour scheme and style of your horse is your choice! Choose from any of the horses displayed on this page, or we can also create your horse to a likeness from pictures you provide.
Horses can be made in two different sizes, Medium and Large, mounted on swing stands as pictured above. Alternatively, medium sized horses can be mounted on traditional bow rockers.
Because designing your rocking horse is a deeply personal process, we ask that you please contact us using the button above, where we will promptly follow up to help you realize your vision.
