rocking horse

[Jamie Doeren]

looking for rocking horse patern
I have a couple books on rocking horses but looking for something a little more detailed .

I want to carve one for my boy, he is only two weeks old so I have some time.

I really would like to see some german or european designs
any help would be great thanks

Hi Jamie, not a rocking horse suggestion but have you ever looked at the Dentzel carousel web site?
A number of free animal "coloring book" pictures that might suite your purpose as far as fancy design.
http://www.dentzel.com/
The colouring book link is about half way down the page or :

make sure you look at the bottom of this page for further colouring book pictures.

Also here's a rocking horse carving web site that might also be of interest, it's in Canada.
