Thank you to Dave Jordan for sending us these images of his beautiful Zebra Rocking Horse he recently completed for this family.
Dave attended one of our Carving Courses in January and decided to complete his horse as a Zebra for his Grandchildren to enjoy when they come to visit him.
Our Carving Courses are an ideal start to your Rocking Horse journey, check out our dates on our website or contact us for special offers and availability.

** HUGE NEWS **

Well, the news is finally out… after nearly 40 years in Fangfoss, it’s time for something new.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be moving every horse, bracket, length of metal, sewing machine — and of course our fantastic staff — to our brand new workshops.

We’ve been incredibly fortunate to design and shape this amazing new space, and we’re so excited for the next stage of our journey as a company, particularly in 2026 as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.
If you’re placing orders or need any support during the move, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Response times may be a little slower than usual while we get everything settled in.

Once we’re ready to reveal the final details we will certainly be letting everyone know🐴

Thank you for your support today and always.
James and Becca🐴🩷
