​Meet the Newport Junior, a charming chair-style rocking horse handcrafted in my New England shop for the littlest members of the family.​

​

Part little chair, part trusty steed, the Newport Junior is available in three beautiful hardwoods: oak, cherry, and maple. Each is shaped and finished by hand, with a low profile, contoured seat, and gentle rocking design that give this little horse a character all its own.

​

Today, it's a favorite spot for a gentle rock and a giggle. Tomorrow, it might be off exploring the countryside, galloping along the coast, or heading wherever a young imagination leads.

​​

I build these little horses with the same care and attention to detail as my full-sized rocking horses. From shaping the wood to refining the curves and applying the finish, every piece reflects the craftsmanship and pride that go into making something by hand.

​

Whether it's a first birthday surprise, a christening gift, or a special way to celebrate a new arrival, the Newport Junior is a thoughtful alternative to the usual baby gift—and one that can become a treasured part of family life.

​

The Newport Junior is offered in the wood options shown in our collection. Each horse is individually handcrafted, and availability may vary.

 

For safety, reins are not included, as they can pose a risk to young children.
