Rocking Horses For Children

Some Rocking Horses (for children) History

A rocking horse is a child's toy, usually, but not always, shaped like a horse and mounted on rockers similar to a rocking chair.

The first rocker was probably the rocking cradle, this may have been around since the caveman days. A rocking cradle could be devised from a natrually shaped piece of wood.

Mostly built by hobby woodcrafters, and ranging from relatively crude to finely ornamented and the toys of future kings, it was not until the late 19th century that the production became industrialised.

In 2006, the Guinness Book of World Records certified Katlinel and Les Hartness of California as having the largest hand-carved wooden rocking horse on record.

This rocking horse was built in 2000 and is 7 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 1,200 pounds. It is shown publically, where up to 4 adults can ride it together at one time.
