Nan's creation for her grandson. This rocking horse was made from salvaged timber from his mum's family home (now demolished). His poppa runs a racing stable, and the mane and tail are from the tassels of a dress rug that one of his top horses won and the racing colours are painted on the back of the saddle. The horse and rockers are white-washed so that the timber grain shows through giving the illusion of movement with the mane and tail blowing in the breeze when rocked. Hand painted, happy facial features.
