I want someone to buy me a Pony

While the real deal can be a large, long investment, rocking horses can be a lot more affordable. I find it fascinating when I find other craftsmen or they find me! David Reiss of Equine Manufacturing Co has been restoring rocking horses as long as I've been restoring leather. While my (very small) part was to colour restore the original saddle and some straps for the reins and stirrups, I was a lot more interested in what he does! He purchases untanned hides and tans them on the rocking horse so they shrink to fit the framework.
So if you are looking for a unique present for the kids/grandkids, David is your guy! He can be reached on 0413 591 759.
