Wooden horse on wheels from Gröden

Little boys' favourite toy

After jointed dolls, carved animals were the most important items in the Gröden range. Most of these were horses: rocking horses, draft horses for all sorts of carts and horses on wheels. These horses were painted and delivered in all sizes: from little toy figurines to ones that children could sit on.
