Kay Bojesen's Rocking Horse from 1936 in beech
DesignerKay Bojesen1886–1958
Kay Bojesen's Rocking Horse has been part of his family of wooden animals since 1936. The full 56 cm horse is made for children to ride, and two smaller versions mark its 90th anniversary. All three are lacquered FSC-certified beech with the same soft, rounded lines.

A horse to ride
The 56 cm horse has carried children on imaginary gallops for generations.
A seat for the Monkey
The small and mini versions are made so a Kay Bojesen Monkey can sit in the saddle.
Leather harness
The small and mini horses wear a black leather harness.
Protective lacquer
Lacquered beech is easy to wipe clean and stands up to daily handling.

A rider's horse since 1936
Bojesen added the Rocking Horse to his wooden animals in 1936. The large version stands 56 cm tall and 86 cm long, a size for small children to climb onto and rock, and it is often given at christenings and first birthdays.

Ninety years, two new sizes
For the design's 90th anniversary, Kay Bojesen Denmark made a 17.5 cm small horse and a 9.5 cm mini. Both carry a black leather harness and are shaped so the Kay Bojesen Monkey can climb into the saddle for a ride on the shelf.

Beech under lacquer
All three horses are turned in FSC-certified beech and finished with lacquer. The surface protects the wood and makes it simple to keep clean, while the shape keeps Bojesen's round, friendly lines from nose to rocker.
Materials
- Lacquered beech
- The lacquer seals the beech, so a dry cloth is all the cleaning it needs.
- Leather harness
- The small and mini horses have a black leather harness; keep it dry and away from heat.
- FSC-certified wood
- The beech comes from responsibly managed forests (FSC C140259).
Kay Bojesen trained as a silversmith under Georg Jensen and qualified in 1910. He made his first wooden figure in 1922 and opened his shop and workshop in Copenhagen ten years later. He wanted toys to be simple, sturdy and good to hold, with lines that smile.
Using it at home
Which version can a child ride?
The 56 cm Rocking Horse is the riding version. The 17.5 cm and 9.5 cm horses are display pieces.
How much floor space does the large horse need?
It measures 86 cm long, 23.5 cm deep and 56 cm high, plus room to rock.
Can a Monkey sit on it?
Yes. The small and mini horses are designed so a Kay Bojesen Monkey can sit in the saddle.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from stoves and radiators, which can discolour the lacquer.

Lacquered FSC-certified beech, with a black leather harness on the small and mini versions.
