rocking horses

Nursery room toys

Rocking horses are children's toys shaped like horses, mounted on curved rockers or springs that allow a child to sit astride and rock back and forth.

Traditional versions are carved from wood and painted, sometimes with real horsehair manes.

The toy has been a nursery staple for centuries: She found her grandmother's old rocking horse in the attic.
