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.
