About Helen's bow rocking horse, Beauty

The Bow Rocking Horse is a favourite for most lovers of Rocking Horses. What a marvellous toy for any child!

You can picture the rider rocking madly and propelling forward.

The way the bow fits around the horse determines the size of the toy. A large horse on a bow - for example, the Wildfire Glider Rocking Horse, takes up a great deal of space in the nursery,and is a little impractical.

That is why a smaller horse on a bow rocker is the most popular. The smaller horse presents greater challenges for the artist when it comes to handling and harnessing, but looks great in a miniature setting.

Beauty has found a new home.
