Repainted Vintage Rocking Horse
Howdy partner!
This little cutie got a face lift that brought it from back in the 60's and into the farmhouse.
I found this beauty in an antique store and I knew I could make him loved once again.
I began by removing the old felt mane from the rocking horse.
Once he was naked I painted him with grey chalky paint and dry brushed it with white over the top.

The mess in the background is my workshop... right now it looks a little like Santa's workshop.
I made a new mane and tail for the horse using thick jute rope.
The jute is like the macrame rope we used back in the 70's.
I attached the mane and tail to the horse using wood screws.
That's all it took to make this horse ready to be loved by a new family.
And it will be because it left today for its new home.
Love the transformation!
