Giddyup!




This week it's all about "The Race That Stops A Nation" (quite literally!) here in Australia and so, as a tribute to things equine, today I thought I'd share some rather amazing contemporary rocking horses.  


They can be colourful in plastic -

or look beautiful in timber -

And whether they are more literal -

furnications






sculptural -



If It's Hip, It's Here

or abstract -



The Alternative Consumer



in appearance, I am sure that they would make a great talking point in anyone's home.



Now I know that I am usually a girl who prefers  her things vintage but I have to admit that I am a little smitten with these and I hope you like them too!



Happy, happy Wednesday,

  2. Hello Stephie:
    We have always wanted a dolls' house and a rocking horse. The dolls' house we now have, and are so enjoying acquiring furniture [but definitely not dolls] for it and now this wonderful post of yours has rekindled desire for the rocking horse. Oh dear!!

  3. What a fun roundup! I love the horses and the chance to see a normally vintage item in such modern and whimsical designs. I think the black horse is the best!
