🐴 The horse of the summer has to be our hero racehorse! 🏇☀️ We’ve currently got four on the go down in the workshop — and every single one is a little bit special. ❤️

DID YOU KNOW?

Our racehorse was named in memory of members of our team’s families who had sadly passed away. Their names were brought together to create the name of our extra-special horse — a beautiful reminder of the importance of family, love and the memories we carry with us. ❤️ So while we’re busy creating more of these gorgeous horses, our original will always hold a very special place in our hearts. 🐴✨

This Ayres Rocking Horse has been painted to look like the customers own horse. A rare breed called Camargues - they start off black and fade to white as they get older. An unusual but exciting replica!

You never know what you are going to find when you strip a restoration! This horse had 4 metal plates fitted at some point to help hold it together. What do we think - will the legs and head fall off when we remove them?
