Traditional rocking horse buyers admire our traditional rocking horses. Not all rocking horses are traditional but the Kensington Rocking Horse Company specialises in traditional wooden rocking horses. These are fine traditional rocking horses which are individually carved by skilled craftsmen in the UK in the traditional fashion. These rocking horses continue the proud tradtions in Great Britain which date back through a couple of hundred years of exceptional rocking horse making.

In Georgian and early Victorian times, traditional horses were mounted on a bow rocker but the American, P.J. Marqua, devised and patented the safety stand in 1877. This static frame which eliminated the 'toe-trapping' characteristics associated with the bow rocker was quickly taken-up in England too and was patented in London by Haddon in 1880. Leather bridle and saddle, real horsehair for tail and mane and the use of only seasoned hardwoods are features which attract both adult and child to our traditional rocking horses. This is an investment in beautiful furniture, a plaything and an heirloom.
