A Grandson's Ride

Every great story has a beginning. For The Boston Rocking Horse Company, it began with a rocking horse I built for my grandson, as a gift for his first birthday.

​​

Crafted from solid American cherry, A Grandson’s Ride was my first rocking horse and the inspiration behind everything that followed. What began as a special family project quickly grew into a passion for creating beautifully handcrafted wooden horses that could be treasured for generations.

​​

Unlike the more elaborate horses that followed, A Grandson’s Ride is intentionally simpler in its design. It has a charm all its own, reminiscent of a simpler time when a wooden rocking horse was a treasured childhood companion and imagination was all that was needed for an adventure.

​​

Every curve and contour was shaped by hand, drawing inspiration from the timeless designs of traditional rocking horses and the heritage of fine New England craftsmanship.

​​

The rich cherry grain, understated design, and warmth of the wood make this horse especially meaningful to me. It represents the joy of making something with your own hands and the belief that a well-crafted piece can become part of a family's story.

​​

A Grandson’s Ride is more than a rocking horse. It's where my journey began—and a reminder that sometimes the simplest things are the ones we treasure most.
