Thanks for all the responses guys. More pictures are on the way! Looks to me a few aftermarket pieces are added, the hair is definitely horsehair. Its very thick. Doesnt look handcarved, paint is chipping. The saddle is stuffed with straw, and the leather looks like it has alot of wear. Pieces were changed or added over the years. Phillips head screws were used, Ill post more pictures on my picasa ( i guess thats what its called) more are on the way. I really appreciate the help guys!! my picasa is dwdrums2112

I have an antique rocking horse that needs an appraisal, it looks very old, and I have a few guesses to the date and value. Anyone an expert on these? Or where I could call to get an estimate? Thanks!
