I wanted to build my Son a rocking horse but did not want to make the normal boring horse.  While looking around for ideas, I saw that someone else had made a similar rocking (Taun Taun) horse.  I liked the design and based my rocker off of his design.  Each individual hair on the rocker is carved in and the feet on my rocker are hand carved and very detailed, I also added a saddle and padded seat.
