Recognised and admired by many, a Haddon rocking horse can be found in homes scattered around the world.
Founded by John and Mary Labouchere; in Oxfordshire England (Didcot then Wallingford) when John made his first rocking horse for his godson, they continued in making a number of other rocking horses before formally registering the Company and the 'Haddon' name soon became synonymous with quality rocking horses when in the 1970's and 80's demand often exceeded capacity, delivering its rocking horses all over Europe - and to the rest of the world.
Subsequently, with the demise of other industry names, Haddon Rocking Horses has emerged to be England's oldest established rocking horse maker in business today and proud to continue in the tradition of making distinctive, practical and very durable rocking horses that have demonstrated to provide years of faithful service and generations with enjoyment.
Indeed, over the years Haddon rocking horses have become cherished by many and considered to be superior together with the timeless grace and elegance of a true thoroughbred. They can be regarded as somewhat exclusive and possibly amongst the best of contemporary rocking horses available in the world today.
Haddon Rocking Horses remains a privately owned family Company and as England's oldest established rocking horse maker in business today, each continue to be individually handmade in limited numbers using the best of Haddon traditions based upon their original and well proven designs whilst somewhat uniquely benefiting in the use of ultra modern materials.
A Haddon rocking horse is both strong and durable and yet retains all the charm and elegance of their Victorian predecessors. They are admired and cherished by many.

Made to last... Handmade with care and attention to detail, Haddon rocking horses have evolved over the decades and considered superior by design with the enviable advantage of ultra-contemporary composite materials which can be far stronger, more durable and better suited to the rigours of rocking horse life and the vagary's of modern living..
For future generations... Recognised and admired by many, a Haddon rocking horse can be found in homes scattered around the world and over the decades many remain in daily use as a testament to their durability..
The 'Classic' and 'Heritage' range of Haddon rocking horses are available in both 'Medium' or 'Large' size.
The Medium size is well proportioned, extremely elegant and very attractive. It is considered an ideal size for most 'pre-teens' and like all Haddon rocking horses, has a proven pedigree in providing many hours of enjoyment and years of faithful service.
The Large size is perhaps larger than most others and considered quite regal with a distinguished and proudly noble stance. Indeed, this size can easily offer the continued enjoyment for even the adults amongst us who still secretly enjoy the occasional cantor.
Haddon rocking horses are attractive and made to be used and enjoyed... when it's hoped future generations may also enjoy the same. |
