Our Story
Rix & Co. was founded in 2015 by husband and wife team Pete and Anna Rix. Pete has a commercial background in design and has been carving since the age of 14. Over the years Pete has developed his skills of sculpture and traditional woodcarving and in doing so has developed a true passion for these wonderful and timeless toys.
The preservation and development of traditional craftsmanship is something close to our hearts, and maintaining the craft of the Rocking Horse maker is something they feel honoured to be a part of. Anna heads up the finishing department and is responsible for the beautiful paint finishes and tack .
As well as making Rix & Co original rocking horses we provide a restoration service for old and tired rocking horses, as well as offering a range of workshops enabling keen craftsmen and women to carve their very own rocking horse head. For those particularly enthusiastic students we are more than happy to guide you through the process to making and finishing a complete horse.
Whatever your rocking horse needs we are here to help.
