Pegasus Rocking Horse
Pegasus Rocking Horses of Crewe, Cheshire produced mostly large plush rocking horses on wooden safety stands. A Pegasus rocking horse is usually a sturdy and robust horse made with brown or black fur fabric plush, fitted with a sheepskin mane and tail and leather tack - often bright red.
Nowadays, many adults ask for their Pegasus rocking horse to be restored when their own children or grandchildren are ready to ride a rocking horse. The mane and tail invariably need replacing and the leather saddle usually does too.

The fur ’skin’ is often worn in the neck area, but this can be ‘pinched’ under the new mane and is not a sign that the fur must be replaced. Provided that it is not excessively worn or faded in other areas, a thorough cleaning of the fur combined with a new mane and tail, saddle and bridle will normally suffice to for a Pegasus rocking horse restoration.
The mechanics of the safety stand should be examined and some renovation is necessary for safety resons.
