Hi, I love this design. Would you be able to send me your tutuorial or where you got it from. I have a niece due soon and it would be amazing to make her a rocking horse. Please let me know as soon as you can! You did a great job!

Beautiful rocking horse I hope to make one for my grandson,if it comes out anything like yours I’ll have a winner.

Thanks for all the great comments. I looked around at all the plans and decided to modify the Classic Pony Rocker from Rockler. I decided to eliminate the yarn because I read it was prone to get dirty. The same with the tail. I basically scetched out a head that looked more like a horse to me and a tail . The head and tail are joined with dowels and secured with screws and plugs. I used the pattern for the saddle to sketch out a saddle that looked more like a western saddle than the flat seat the plans called for. Having grown up in Oklahoma and owning horses I had to have a horse that looked like a horse. I hope this helps. It was a fun project.
