        Freya with a lovely young lady, ready to go for the ride of her life.
        We always have lots of exciting new projects in the works, not the least of which is a BRAND NEW rockinghorse! Vlad and Freya are going to be joined by an even larger new rockinghorse. Trey is going to be a Fresian, and will stand a solid six inches taller than Vlad! He's still in the preliminary stages of creation, but once he really gets going, he'll have his own feature page where you can watch him come to life.


        Upcoming Events

        h   February 3rd, 4th and 5th finds us at the Two Rivers Renaissance Faire in Yuma Arizona. Its a lovely drive and and guaranteed fun.

        Did you know that both the Rockinghorseguy and Rockinghorsegal are of Scottish heritage? Tis true and we'll be rocking Santa Cruz at the Santa Cruz Scottish Renaissance Festival June 16th and 17th. Not to worry, haggis is optional.

        Places we've been and things we've done

        Freya has been featured in a video done by the lovely Brittany Hughes. Read her blog about it here: Brittany Hughes on giant rocking horses.

        Vlad has also been featured with Fred Willard of the Travel Channel. Fred took a ride with Robin, one of our lovely changewenches. (A changewench is one of the women working at our booth, and they take ride fees and help organize the riders so that everyone has fun and remains safe at all times.)
