Rocking Horses are freaky, horror inducing things.

6 year old girl - It's fine.
6 year old boy - You should be teaching him about life. Take him out and shoot a horse.

at 6 years old I wouldn't have been interested, I think I was into sega megadrive at that age.

They like anything new. For five minutes.

6 year old boy? Rocking horses are boring, get a present that actually does something, like LEGO.

For reference, my 7 year old nephew would not be impressed with a rocking horse.

Maybe 100 years ago. Now they would rather play angry birds or something.

And so.... the answer is no.

They're a bit ****, aren't they?

I reckon if they gave kids the real jockey experience they'd make a comeback. Membership of a very exclusive club, pussy on demand, access to a wide range of drugs and the ability to pull off the arrogant midget persona without being ridiculed.

Yes....The more I think about this the more stupid this idea seems..

I have this picture in my of head now of a stupid great big rocking horse sitting in the corner of a room just doing nothing for years....

I just take her to the toy shop and she can play on one there..

But they don't just do nothing. There will be those strange moments, late at night, when you are sat there alone but can feel someone watching you. You turn to confront them but the room is empty and silent - except for the rocking horse, neglected in the corner. You leave the room but hear a mysterious creaking sound and so return in a hurry to find that :eek:

That's not a rocking horse, it's a horse table.

Rocking horse manure is very useful however providing you have a woodburner stove
