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.

Do you have plans. I have been asked to make one for a little girl.
