Having retired and expecting the arrival of our first grandchild I decided to give this medium size rocking horse a go. Wonderful experience and remarkably simple a touch of genius from the RHS. It took me almost 8 weeks to complete the project, however it never felt like a chore. My only advice would be, give it a go, it's nowhere near as difficult has you might imagine.
Very fulfilling
AN ENJOYABLE PROJECT

Having never carved anything recognisable I decided to have a go. the cost of the plans were not worth worrying about so here goes. The sales promo said it would be easy, didn't believe that but it was true. The only problem was do I have enough clamps, fortunately I did. /carving with the arbortec cutter was a dream, so much fun. The ego boost is phenomenal, everybody thinks the carving is genius, thats worth the time spent. Anyone with interest must have a try.
Brilliant Design

I have done a bit of woodwork over the years, general jobs around the house and a bit of furniture repair etc. but never any carving or indeed worked off any plan. It was therefore with some lack of confidence that I embarked on this project.
My fears were unfounded. The plan and the accompanying instructions are clear and straightforward and a joy to work from. As the horse begins to take shape you further appreciate the detail and genius of the design. I used power tools pretty much for all the work, a jigsaw for cutting out the parts, a course sanding disc on an angle grinder for rough shaping, a power file for smoothing and shaping further and a Dremel multitool for the more detailed carving. I am almost ashamed to say the gouges hardly came out the box.
Have faith in your ability but above all have faith in this plan and you will end up with a horse you can be proud of and have hours of enjoyment in making.
