TIME AND TIME AGAIN, I RECEIVE EMAILS FROM PEOPLE WITH PICTURES OF ROCKING HORSES THAT THEY HAVE PURCHASED AS BEING ANTIQUE. MY HEART SINKS WHEN I SEE PICTURES OF POORLY MADE HORSES IMPORTED INTO THE UK IN THE 1980s.

THEY ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE CARVED MANES. THEY ALSO HAVE BADLY CARVED LEGS AND FEET. IT IS ALSO NOT UNUSUAL TO FIND THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE STIRRUP LEATHERS IS BROKEN AND BEEN TIED.

THESE HORSES ARE NOT UNATTRACTIVE AS LONG AS YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING A REPRODUCTION HORSE AND THEREFORE DO NOT PAY TOO MUCH FOR IT.

UNFORTUNATELY, A GREAT DEAL OF ANTIQUES CENTRES AND AUCTION HOUSES, WRONGLY LIST THESE HORSES AS ANTIQUE.

 I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF ONE OF THESE HORSES TO PUBLISH YET, BUT WILL HOPE TO DO SO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. MEANWHILE, IF YOU ARE THINKING OF PURCHASING A HORSE AND ARE IN ANY DOUBT, DO CHECK IT OUT BEFORE HANDING YOUR CASH OVER!!
