Our
rocking horsesare created for people who want
something completely different.
We are
designers of unique, exclusive wooden horses, made for decoration
purposes, which you will not find elsewhere and do
not stick to the conventional markings, painting patterns and design,
but try to make out of each rocking horse a 'one of a kind' piece
of art: an individual with a personality.
If you are looking for a unique, high quality rocking horse with
a close match to your dream-horse or own favourite horse or pony,
we can carve and paint your new rocking horse in the closest way
you want to have it. According to your wishes -but without losing
our identity- we can make a top collectible and ornamental piece
of art.
There are a lot of possibilities; For example choose your own color,
color of the tail and manes, tack, bit, stirrups or a particular
decoration.
Even if you want a horse in 'Picasso'-design or
a horse what appears to be made out of marble;
there are always possibilities!
We create each horse individually and make only a few, unique -one
of a kind- animals pro year.
In our, only handcrafted, studio we handle our horses with the atmost
care and attention. Every horse is made and tested to the latest
EU regulations.
Once the horse is ready, you get a unique horse and one of the finest
pieces of art!
The
horses below are only a port folio of horses we made in the past.
Some of them are for sale.
THE
PAINTING
For
our horses we use an ancient oil-technique. By glazing, a time-consuming
and difficult painting technique, the horse becomes very lifelike.
After 8 or sometimes even 15 layers of paint the horse is sealed
with thinned shellac. It is this coat which yellows with age and
gives old rocking horses their own characteristic. This means that
each horse is an individual artistic work. For this reason they
are signed. You will also find also a plate with number and year
on them

THE
HAIR
The
hair on our rocking horses is made from real, solid horse-hide.
We don't dye it, because this would affect the natural, subtle variations
of colour as opposed to a mass product. We use only real horse hair
for manes and tails, ensuring a natural and very lifely, realistic
appearance.
THE
BODY
All
our own made horses are our exclusive design and only for sale at
this website.
We design the unique models of our horses, produce the rough shapes
and finish them at our studio in the Netherlands..
We use different kinds of wood. It is also our objective to protect
nature and the environment. So we only use wood from firms who's
plan it is to achieve this in the best possible ways.
OUR
CUSTOMERS:
We
often receive letters and emails from parents, grandparents and
collectioners who bought horses in the past.
Some of them became real 'family'-friends.
We always like to hear how our horses are behaving in another stable!
You can read some impressions after receiving our horses at our
page 'ordering' or the horses which has been sold.
SAFETY
We
advise that children, especially those under 4 years should be supervised.
A rocking horse or carousel horse on stand or bow is large, heavy
and has many moving parts. Always "beware!". Keep safety
in mind.
