Here’s a project from my husband. The basic form was made from poplar, then encased in oak that was carved and shaped to give the horse a more realistic form. My husband came up with the design himself, using ideas from various rocking horses. It was made for the youngest grandson. As you can see, it’s sturdy enough for Grandma! (Grandma sewed the saddle, bridle, mane, and tail.)

This is a wonderful project. These are extremely popular and well received. You and your husband combined efforts to produce a beautiful horse and I am sure your grandson gets a lot of enjoyment from it.
Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice job. The horse definitely has some nice character.

Nice! I’m wanting to make another one sometime soon, but I’m definitely going to steal some of your ideas for leg definition!
