We have over 39 years of experience in hand-crafting and restoring rocking horses. We would love to hear from you too. Please leave us a review on Google ›

My scruffy, well-used horse with her scrappy mane and tail showed her years of wear only too well. Today Alison brought her home again looking like a show pony, but still with subtle signs of her age. I am delighted with the work done and look forward to my first grandchild riding her.

I ordered an extra large deluxe dapple grey and took delivery a few weeks later. Absolutely beautiful, I couldn't believe the excellent level of workmanship. Delighted with the horse.

I have just got my Collinson rocking horse back from restoration. All I can say is WOW. Alison and her workforce have done such a marvellous job. He was in such a state after three generations of use, and he's now an absolute masterpiece, restored authentically. I am so pleased and would highly recommend.

I bumped into the Rocking Horse Works at BBC Countryfile Live at Blenheim Palace and knew at once that Alison was the one to restore my father's century-old push-along horse that I had adored as a child. He had been covered in cream paint whilst on loan to a cousin. Alison and I are having such fun working to restore him to a state of distressed gentility, because I want him to look as though he had aged gently over the last 100 years. After CJ is finished, Rocking Horse Works are going to do the same for my husband's Georgian rocking horse. If you are looking for a first-class restoration job on your family's favourite horse, or are ready to spoil your children or grandchildren with a new horse they can pass on to future generations, look no further than The Rocking Horse Works. You won't be disappointed.

For some time I had wondered how to restore one beloved rocking horse. I decided to call Rocking Horse Works and almost instantly felt reassured and happy following a long conversation explaining my worries. Rocking Horse Works visited my home and together we assessed the situation. The best part was: no pressure at all to do anything more than I wanted. I discovered he is a Collinson, so he deserved a restoration by someone who cared and had knowledge of the make. Dear old McTavish came home and I am thrilled. Some paint left worn at my request, leathers all beautiful. He smiles at me now! All 43 years of him. Thank you Rocking Horse Works. Job done, perfect.

We now have our horse back, as you promised, beautifully refurbished and all ready for our granddaughters this Christmas. Many thanks for everything. You have really cheered us all up hugely. Happy Christmas!
