ROCKING HORSE SIZES
The rocking
horses normally come in three sizes.....medium, large and extra large.
All rocking horses are very strong and can bear the weight of a fully
grown adult but, as a generalisation, take the following as a guide.
Medium is suitable for up to approximately 5 years.
Large is suitable for up to approximately 12 years and
Extra Large for a small to medium sized adult.
ROCKERS or SWINGERS
All rocking horses can be supplied on either bow rockers or safety swinger
stands. The cost is the same.
Swingers take up less space than the bow rockers.
COLOURS and WOOD
Painted rocking horses can be supplied in any colour, though dapple dapple
is the most traditional. They can be supplied with a gloss or matt finish
and can be "aged" to give an antique appearance.
Painted rocking horses are made from plantation-grown American Whitewood
(Liriodendron tulipifera).
Natural wood rocking horses are french polished and waxed to a deep shine.
They can be in almost any suitable wood (subject to availability) but
mahogany and maple are used mostly.
VIEWING
Visitors to the rocking horse workshop in Cornwall are always welcome.
As the rocking horses are exclusively available through The
Kensington Rocking Horse Company, you will probably find that the
best place to view a selection is their showroom and rocking horse
shop in Sussex.
PLEASE REMEMBER
As we generally produce to order, we are always happy to finish any rocking
horse to your specifications even if you do not see one that you quite
like illustrated here.
