Tek Nek's Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse Is A Great Toy
I recently purchased a Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday because her Mother had a rocking horse when she was about that age and she loved it so much, it was almost part of the family.I was impressed with the plush body and the sturdy frame of this spring horse. The singing and talking voices were also lots of fun.
The icing on the cake for me was the way my granddaughter's face lit up when I brought it into the room! Click Here For The Best Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse Price!
She was so very excited, climbed right up onto the horse and didn't get off for over an hour! We actually had to wait to cut her birthday cake until we could convince her that "Lucky" was her horse forever and was not going anywhere, then she finally got off! It is now her favorite toy and has been since day one.
I highly recommend this product just for the sheer joy that any child can have playing with a toy like this.

Rocking Horse History
Whenever I think of rocking horses I immediately picture a classic spring mounted Victorian horse in an old English house. Nowadays spring rocking horses are more popular and normally cheaper to buy. But toy horses have been around for much long, several centuries in fact
The earliest English toy horses were not rockers, they had a round barrel body and were mounted on four wheels. If the child's legs reached the floor they could push themselves along. The children would mimic the jousting contests held during medieval times. Simple hobby horses, with stuffed heads mounted on a broomstick, were also popular for centuries.
The first actual rocking horses, mounted on a bow shaped rocker, appeared during the seventeenth century. The earliest example is a crude elm and soft wood horse dated about 1610 and reputed to have belonged to Charles 1 when he was a young prince. This rare horse is now housed in the V & A Museum in London. Over a period of time bow shaped rockers became more elaborate and the horses more realistic in appearance . The carved wood was covered with gesso, rubbed down to a smooth finish, painted and then fitted with full harness and saddle. Wealthy families would use these horses to train their children to ride, so it is claimed.
Although Europe had led the way in rocking horse development, it was an American, J.P.Marqua, who, in 1871 invented a safety stand with the horse suspended on a static frame with swing irons. European manufacturers were quick to recognize the advantages of this design. It removed the danger of the horse tipping over or fingers and toes being trapped under the runners.
Recently there has been a revival of interest in rocking horses. Specialist companies
are producing horses to rival the finest earlier mounts. These can cost several thousand dollars, but there are less expensive models using a wide range of materials, from stuffed plush to plastics and metal and mounted on springs, and costing under 100 dollars. A small price to pay for the hours of pleasure a rocking horse can give.
Such a toy horse is the popular Tek Nek Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse which offers great value and good quality.
