A talented rocking horse maker, sadly passing away in his prime was Robert Iliffe, who traded as Withers Rocking Horses. Robert was a great experimenter and produced several special horses, the most special were a Unicorn and a winged Pegasus rocking horse.
The latter can now be viewed at our studio in Shropshire, and a rather magnificent rocking horse it is. Robert patented the stand arrangement that allows this horse to raise his front hooves, the magnificent wings are snugly fitted, but detachable, a very practical consideration if it comes to moving such a large horse.
