    A rocking horse is a child's toy, usually shaped like a horse and mounted on rockers similar to a rocking chair. Predecessors of the rocking horse may be seen in the rocking cradle, the tilting seats used during the Middle Ages for jousting practice as well as the wheeled hobby horse. The toy in its current form did not appear before the 17th century, though some conflicting sources note medieval manuscripts including references to carved rocking horses, presumably of the toy kind.

    The valves do not have rockers. They have buckets and shims.

    Yeah but you know if you find a rocking horse from all the way back in medieval times, some silly PO has most likely removed the airbox...

    Nope, you shouldn't look at gift rocking horse in the teeth, even for a clearance check.

    what confuses you?
    checking the teeth
    or looking a gift rocking horse in the mouth
    or putting rockers on my xj so i can ride year round?
    But I want my kitchen remodeled.

    or the spam thread
