Cavort with us next at:
Whew! What an amazing run of events. We both feel that we are living a charmed life, and are grateful to each and every one of you that makes it so very special. Without YOU we wouldn't have much fun at all. Thank you all!
We are currently putting together our schedule for 2013, so keep an eye out for new listings on our upcoming events page. We are also always open to adding new events, so don't hesitate to contact us if you know of an event that you think we would be a nice fit with. We are also available to rock your parties, weddings, and other private events. Just drop us a line to get pricing for your event.
What do we do in the off season? Well, we work on the horses. They do require periodic maintenance and this is when we do any refinishing, add new manes and tails, replace saddles, and of course, work on Trey, our newest horse.
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!

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 .
