Original miniatures by Helen Dickins

Wildfire, original miniature glider horse by Helen Dickins

Wildfire, carved wooden Edwardian glider horse in 1/12 scale

'Born' to ride - this tiny, fully functioning glider horse was perfected initially so that miniature dolls could have a horse to ride.

He looks wonderful on a collector's shelf or in a dolls house.
Meet Wildfire.



"In recent years, I have been drawn more and more to the challenge of creating miniature working models.

My 2008 Winter Wonderland collection included glider horses, bow horses and my latest creation, tricycle horses.

These delightful miniatures were achieved through a combination of artistic and technical skills, with valuable contributions from two talented engineers.

Follow the step-by-step development of one of my delightful bow horses."

Original carved bow rocking horse by Helen Dickins

Beauty, original carved bow rocking horse by Helen Dickins

What a marvellous toy for any child! The Bow Rocking Horse is a favourite for most lovers of Rocking Horses. You can picture the rider rocking madly and propelling forward.
Meet Helen's bow rocking horse, Beauty.

Original miniature tricyle horse by Helen Dickins

Merlin, original tricycle horse design by Helen Dickins, cast in resin and made from Helen's master horse mould of carved wood.

The tricycle horses you see today were achieved with the help of a great husband who turned the metal wheel sections, and a mutual friend, Ern Day, designed and made the spoke-gluing jig.
Meet Helen's tricycle horse, Merlin.
