Hello everyone I hope you don't mind but i wanted to show you all the rocking horse i made. He is called Banjo, and he was made by me three years ago. I'm very proud of him (and myself), it took me 11 months to carve, I also made the swinger stand. He has got teeth and a tongue, he has a real horsehair mane and tail (w00t) and no i won't be making any more!

Thanks all, I was poorly a few years ago and waiting for a heart opp, my nerves where in bits so my doctor advised doing something to take my mind off my problems.At about the same time we were told we were going to be grandparents for the first time,we looked around for a rocking horse but the prices were out of our league so a place in eaglescliffe (Preston Hall) has a course. I went on it and did it never thought I could :lol:

Oh my gosh, he's wonderful! Well done you!

Ive always said that if i won the lottery Id collect traditional rocking horses. I have an absolute passion for them.

Im sure he will give some lucky children many years of fun, imaginings and dreams.
