rocking horse tips: hints |

How much shall I spend? Stretch your budget! A rocking horse is for (at least) a lifetime! What size should I buy? If you would like to ride the rocking horse yourself (and be honest!!), do bear that in mind. Our Chester rocking horses are designed for adults. As well as being beautiful, they are also extremely robust and great fun for adults to ride. If you are making comparisons with any other rocking horses and rocking horse makers (and we welcome the comparison), please consider: Are you dealing with an experienced professional rocking horse maker? We respect anyone who completes the arduous task of hand-carving a rocking horse, but amateurs with limited experience come and go with great regularity. Very few professional makers have stood the test of time. Every one of our rocking horse makers and restorers has at least 20 years experience! Many of our customers comment that photos do not do justice to the beauty of the horses! Consider the size of the actual rocking horse. Stand sizes and mountings are sometimes used to 'inflate' the dimensions and create the impression that the rocking horse is bigger than it really is. We offer a lot of rocking horse for your money. Ask what materials are used. You might find some unpleasant surprises. Is the rocking horse really carved individually by hand? You may only ever buy one rocking horse, so why compromise? |
