This sturdy Red Oak rocking horse is offered in three classic American hardwoods, Black Walnut, Black Cherry or Red Oak. All offer the durability of very hard and strong wood, and each has its own unique beauty. Measuring 24 inches high it is sized for the 1 year old beginner through the 5 year old trick rider. Joints are fastened with Hickory dowels glued into bored holes, giving the rocking horse a 300 pound capacity. This over-capacity will ensure generations of use. All edges are rounded over and carefully sanded. Children begin rocking at about 10-14 months old and lose interest at the time they outgrow the horse when 5-6 years old. Fine Woodworking magazine included my horse in its collection of outstanding woodwork in America. 24 inches high and 31 inches long.
