    I recently purchased this rocking horse and was hoping to find some information regarding the age, value, origin, etc...
    It is 20 inches long and 13 inches high.

    Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

    Hi,
    I wonder if this is old or just made that way. The rockers seem to be in an unused state, just beat up by someone new.

    I has a sort of Mexican souvenir feel about it. It is very small. I think a kid small enough to fit it would fall straight off.

    It is definitely decorative, much too small to be used.
    The nails that were used seem old, not uniform. Not sure if that means anything, suppose that is easy to fake.

    These are made in India as decorative objects. A quick internet search of "rocking horse" and "India" will bring up similar examples.
