Handcrafted rocking horses inspired by tradition
While trends come and go, exceptional craftsmanship never goes out of style.
For over 200 years, rocking horses have delighted children and become treasured family heirlooms. At Rix & Co., we combine traditional techniques with master craftsmanship to create handcrafted rocking horses of remarkable beauty, quality, and character.
Every piece is designed to inspire imagination, celebrate heritage, and be cherished for generations.
Rix & Co. Rocking Horses was founded in 2015 by master craftsman Pete Rix, a specialist in traditional woodcarving and handcrafted rocking horses.
Pete began carving at the age of 14, developing his skills over decades in sculpture, fine woodcarving, and traditional craftsmanship. This lifelong dedication has evolved into a deep passion for creating timeless, handcrafted rocking horses that celebrate both heritage and artistry.
Alongside producing bespoke rocking horses, Pete has also shared his expertise with hundreds of students through professional woodcarving courses, helping to preserve traditional carving skills for future generations.
Throughout his career, Pete has been privileged to train under some of the world’s most respected sculptors and master carvers, including Master Carver Mike Painter and renowned portrait sculptor Philippe Faraut. These influences have helped shape a high level of precision, anatomical understanding, and artistic refinement in his work today.
Every rocking horse created by Rix & Co. reflects this foundation of craftsmanship, combining traditional techniques with sculptural expertise to produce heirloom-quality pieces designed to last for generations.
