Dapple greys are still a firm favourite when it comes to rocking horses!
 
This is Cygnet, a small -medium sized horse that I chose to finish in a soft dapple, using warmer shades of brown as you would expect of his name. 
 
Cygnet is the other new horse I acquired from Classic Rocking Horses after the sad passing of their founder. He was beautifully carved, but left as bare wood and without a stand, but a perfect blank canvas for me to add my stamp to.
 
I'm not sure what breed he would be if he were real, I have had suggestions from Connemara Pony, to Andalusian, Welsh to Arabian. For me I think he has a little Thoroughbred in him, but maybe crossed with a Andalusian. No DNA testing available though unfortunately!
 
I chose to kit him out with fully removable, black dressage tack. This has been made to my designs by a wonderful master saddler, that puts up with all my requests!
 
Although my work is principally intended as artwork, this truly is a solid little horse that would be fit for use if you so choose. 
 
He measures 38" (97cm) to the highest point of his neck, with a body length of 20" and a height to the saddle measuring around 30". His stand is  43" (110cm) in length and 15" (38cm) in width. Therefore he's approximately the same size as a Lines size 2  or a Stevenson Bros medium.
 
Please let me know if you have any further question. I'm happy to do video viewings if you are not local to Gloucestershire, and courier delivery is available on request.
