Cavort with us next at:
June finds us with the fine folk from the shire of Valhalla (and the hopefully friendly resident bears). The Valhalla Renaissance Faire is another one of our favourites, and we are delighted to be making our triumphant return after a six year absence. That's six years too long! Come rock with us June 2nd and 3rd and again June 8th, 9th and 10th. June 8th is Family Day and we are going to dedicate it to the Rockinghorsegal's eldest daughter Tacincala who turns 25 that day!
We have such amazing powers of magical teleportation that June 9th we'll also be in Los Angeles rocking the magical creatures that populate the far away lands of the Fae. Yes, we will be at Myth Masque in LA's glorious Vibiana cathedral rocking Prince Poppycock, the Angels of Venice and all of thier magical mythical pals. Put on your best phantasmagorical garb and get your tickets to join us for a night behind the veil of mystery!
We had SUCH an amazing time at Tribal Fest! Chuck and Kajira are some of the coolest folks around, and we meet some mighty cool people. Everyone we met was talented, costumed to the nines and an utter delight to chat with. The Year of the Unicorn was one we'll never forget--how often do we get to rock people from 22 countries in one event?! Our buddy The Flashing Scotsman took so many photos of our riders that he wore his fingers to nubbins. He's had to divide the photos up into individual galleries by day to make it easier for you to find yourselves. Go check them out!
What have we been up to lately? We've been gearing up for the great rockinghorse tour of 2012. We are heading north to be closer to upcoming events and have left sunny San Diego for orange blossom scented Bakersfield. Vlad has a new mane and tail and a rocking new saddle for your riding pleasure. Freya is also sporting a new mane and tail these days and will be getting her new saddle soon. Both horses are making friends here in Bakersfield and will be featured in photoshoots in the very near future.

Make your Wedding and Reception unique and spectacularly memorable
Be your wedding traditional and formal or themed such as a Renaissance or Faery wedding, imagine the reactions of your guests when you surprise them with an eight foot tall rocking unicorn or a sweet faced rocking mare at your reception. We not only can provide you with Vlad or Freya, we also provide professional photographic services and will give your guests unlimited rockinghorse rides. Imagine the romance of a newlywed ride to kick off your wedding reception! For a modest additional fee, you can even have the horse decorated in flowers in your wedding colors.
You heard it here first folks! Yes, you CAN book your very own photo
session with Vlad or Freya. Edgy, glamourous, romantic, family portraits,
we can do it all for you. When we aren't rocking, Lester is the
Flashing Scotsman, taking professional portraits that will blow you
away. Contact him here or on our Facebook page and we'll get your
session scheduled at very reasonable rates. If you want photos without
the horses that is just as easily arranged--all you have to do is tell him what you have in mind.
Its been busy lately, with Tragic Tantrum's amazing CD release party at the Ruby Room rapidly followed by an equally spectacular show at Queen Bee's featuring Abney Park, Tragic Tantrum AND Steam Powered Giraffe! It was a triumvirate of fun, fantastic music and frolic, capped off by rocking Vlad into the wee hours of the morning. Things are about to heat up even more, so head on over to our upcoming events page to see what extravaganzas we have up our sleeves.
We had a blast and a half at the National Dance Day fundraiser for the Movement in LA's Athens Park. The Movement, for those of you who don't know, is a nonprofit foundation that provides free art therapy for abused, neglected and orphaned children. Its a cause we are always happy to support and even though it makes for a long night, we are thrilled to be there. Look for us at their events again! Yes, we do fundraisers. If you have an event you would like our giant rockinghorses at, please do contact us for fundraiser details.
We hope to see you all again soon--we LOVE playing with you. Keep watching for an announcement of our next visit with the horses, because you never know where we'll go next! We even make random surprise public appearances--look for announcements of the locations on Twitter.

Meet Vlad, the world's largest wooden rocking horse!
Vlad, along with his partner in crime Freya, are the largest wooden rocking horses in the world. Vlad stands a healthy seven feet eight inches tall on his rockers and, at 1200 pounds, can easily carry multiple lucky riders on his broad and comfortable back on a ride to wonder and delight. Freya is somewhat more petite, standing six feet six inches on her rockers, but she can carry just as many passengers as the proud Vlad. They've given rides to all ages, from two weeks all the way up to jolly young folk in their 90s, and caused countless squeals of utter delight. Vlad is proud, handsome, and a bit imperious, while Freya sparkles with her own gentle personality and a broad mischevious streak.
Vlad and Freya were designed and created by Lester, the Rockinghorse guy, starting in 2000, and have since traveled the country spreading joy and laughter where'er they go. Our happily family also includes Katlinel, the Rockinghorsegal, and our beloved mascat Vermin who travels with us to many a faire land. We are available for faires, weddings, birthday parties, promotions and all sorts of special events, and we travel frequently, so keep an eye peeled on our upcoming events page for times when we will be in your area. If you would like us to come to your faire shire for a special event, please do send your inquiries to us at bookings@rockinghorseguy.com .
