Rocking horse.

We went to a summer fete at Bitterley today,this beautiful old rocking horse was on display. the plaque says it dates back to 1850.

Love rocking horses! So much nostalgic charm in these classic toys. I wish I owned one, but I don't really have the space for one. I did take a shot of one a while back as it goes http://365project.org/miley89/365/2011-04-25

He looks a good age but very elegant. I think you can buy good rocking horses these days but they are very expensive ! He still has his beautiful tail !

Someone took loving care of this one and they were built to last. Great shot.

This is beautiful--it reminds me of that short story, "The Rocking Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence
