GIOVANNI

We are proud to present our newest design of a very special baroque rocking horse. We prefere designing horses with medieval and historical influences.
This is an unique, very decorative, hand-carved model of a dressage horse into the 'piaffe' or collected trot with curly manes and tail.
The horse is made of limewood and we spend much time to create an realistic, atletic horse with muscles for the highest performance. The legs are moving like they should.
The bow is a new design with hand carved royal elements.
We spend over 400 man-hours to create and finish it.

The (removable) saddle with a wooden tree has just been finished. It became a (8 inches) saddle in a royal parade atmosphere. It is covered with royal blue velvet with a light blue (suede,leather) lining. Embroidery with gold -, light blue, some red, silver silk and brass decorations in the model of hearts for the finishing 'touch'.

The dark blue bridle and martingale (as everything on the horse) is also custom and hand made for this horse and covered with brass decorations.

This horse has been sold (USA). The new owner wrote:

August 2005: 'Giovanni arrived today.  In tact and unscathed.  Your people certainly know how to pack things!  It took forever to get him out of his box!    Giovanni is superb!  I am very impressed with the amount of detail given not just to the horse, but to the bridle and saddle.  Exquisite workmanship!  Thank you so much.  I love him'.
