Welcome to Relko Rocking Horses, The Finest Children's Rocking Horses
Description
We made our first horse in the early 1970s in England when no one was making wooden Rocking horses. The layered muscled effect gives the Relko horse it’s distinctive look which has become a trade mark of the design.
The Relko horse has been a true collaboration between the partners Tim & Kim with Kim, an international award winning artist, drawing the original design and Tim, a pony and cattle judge and also a skilled woodworker and craftsman, spending many hours perfecting the finished model with both working on the end painting and finish.
After a few years selling locally and making horses to special order we were asked to place a horse in the Design Centre in the Haymarket in London, England and the horse appeared on the front cover of the international design brochure for that year 1978. After this we set up a craft workshop on the farm where we bred Limousin cattle, raced point to pointers and steeplechasers, ran a pony trekking centre and made up to 9 rocking horses a week for export all over the world. During this time the rocking horse won many awards for design and quality including an award from the Design Centre, the Devon Guild of Craftsman and a gold award for export from the International Export Association.
