A wooden rocking horse is a wonderful plaything, the perfect vehicle for a child's developing imagination. It will be given a name and will become a treasured family possession, not quickly discarded like so many modern toys, but kept and passed down to succeeding generations.

Anthony Dew started designing and making wooden rocking horses back in 1976, and he and his team now have unrivalled experience of the craft. Every horse is a hand crafted individual; ready-to-ride horses are available from stock, or you can commission a 'Special', made to your own preferred size and style.

If woodworking is your interest we publish a range of exclusive plans, complete with pictures and instructions, many of which are original Anthony Dew designs. The idea of making a rocking horse can be daunting, but we aim to give you the confidence to succeed and have projects to suit all abilities. Making a rocking horse will give you a truly satisfying sense of achievement.

Our plans are supported by prepared Timber Packs, specialist tools and equipment and the best range of quality Accessories and Fittings, most of which are designed and made in our own workshops. Whether you want to own a finished rocking horse, would like to make one of your own, or have an old horse that needs attention, we are in a unique position to provide you with everything you need, including good advice.

We can arrange to ship a finished horse to any destination, and we operate a fast and friendly mail order service for plans and accessories.

Visitors are welcome to visit our showroom and the museum, our remarkable collection of old rocking horses. We are open 9.00am till 4.00pm Monday to Saturday inclusive (closed Sundays and Bank Holidays)
