This is a long shot but last Saturday we had our much loved old pony pts. She was 30 and we had her for 21 years, she was an amazing jumping pony and had a 10 year retirement.
A few years ago we had our 15 hand horse pts and bought a small horse made of wood and string which we hung in our lorry cab so that we could think of him at each show. We would love to buy another of these but can't find one. It is made of a piece of branch for his body and has string legs with wood on the end . Has any one seen one that I could buy. Thank you
 
I'm sorry for your loss.

Have you tried ebay for the little horse?
Something like this maybe?

ETS: I don't know seller but bought another little animal from them and remembered they had horses too. Seemed perfectly above board etc, etc. Animal has flexible legs but they aren't as 'floppy' as string, more like wire under the beads (in terms of feel) which maeks then 'posable'.
 
Thank you , I can't believe I have had two such lovely replies but neither is quite what I need. The one we have has a body that looks like naural wood with just rough string to join the legs on and as a tail.
 
Carthorse, would you be able to draw your little horse? If you can, then I might have a friend who can make one. She is a very talented woodworker and artist, and although she's always skint so would have to charge you something, I'm sure it wouldn't be much.
 
Spudlet, thank you if I can't find exactly what I want that will be an option.
Tiny, I will take a photo of the one we have tomorrow and try to post it on here.
Thank you both very much
