Birthday Bash: Carousel & Rocking Horses Review & Giveaway **CLOSED**

When I think of classic toys, the one toy that always comes to mind is Rocking Horses. Rocking horses have been around forever and I think every home should have one. I have been so excited about this review to show all of you the amazing rocking horses at Carousel & Rocking Horses.
 
Carousel & Rocking Horses is a great company that works with quality artists and sells beautiful Rocking Horses, Carousel Horses, Rocking Animals, and Wood carved animals. All of these beautiful creations are hand carved and you cannot buy them at retail stores.

About Carousel & Rocking Horses (from their website)

We endeavor to partner with artists who design and produce woodcarvings and want to sell their works by displaying a representation of it here. Our online audience of art viewers are sophisticated and appreciate excellent work.
I was so excited when Carousel & Rocking Horses agreed to be apart of the Birthday Bash. We were sent the Big Clyde Rocking Horse to review. The Big Clyde is made to look like the Clydesdale and it really does look like one. The horse came in 4 separate parts and I liked that there weren't a lot of pieces to put together. It was easy to put together and when it was done I was stunned. This was the most beautiful rocking horse I have ever seen! It's also the biggest rocking horse I have ever seen! Big Clyde is 34" tall, 43 1/2" long, 14 1/2" wide and the saddle is 24" above the floor. I love that, because it means Tobin can grow with the horse and will be able to ride it for a long, long time!

Tobin was so excited when his horse was put together and he couldn't wait to start riding. He looked so little up there on the big horse and at first I had to help him rock. After a few days though, he was rocking like crazy all on his own! Tobin loves his horse and he has to give him hugs and kisses in the morning and at night and he of course has to have his morning and bedtime rides...as well as ride him throughout the day. Watch the video below of Tobin rocking away on Big Clyde:

I love the features of the rocking horse and there are so many details that really set this rocking horse apart from any rocking horse I have ever seen. Watch the video below to see as I point out all the unique features:


Another thing that I love about Carousel & Rocking Horses is the fact that they include shipping in their price. I hate when I order something and I have no idea what shipping is until the very end of the billing process and often times I'm so shocked to see how much the shipping is. With Carousel & Rocking Horses, you don't have to wonder about shipping charges.
These beautiful rocking horses are not only great toys for your child, but are also beautiful pieces of art for your home. They are something you can treasure forever and pass on from generation to generation. So you are not just buying a rocking horse, you are buying an heirloom for your future family. For me, I am willing to spend more money on a product that Tobin and all my future children will be able to use through all their childhood years as well as be passed down from generation to generation.

Every home should have a rocking horse and they would look beautiful in a nursery, playroom, bedroom, living room, or anywhere really! So head on over to Carousel & Rocking Horses and order your one of a kind rocking horse today!

Big Clyde on their website for $239.95 (includes shipping). Visit Carousel & Rocking Horses for pricing on all their great products. You can also use coupon code: secondtime10 to receive 15% off your purchase!
