I am chasing some rocking horse plans so that Pop can make my daughter a rocking horse.

Does anybody have any?

check e-bay for woodworking plans. I bought a cd for cheap like 5 dollars us. They are in pdf but it can be converted into dxf for auto cad, scaled to what you want and then into a cad/cam software for cnc. works well and very simple.

I would get a pic of a horse, scale it and make 2 side profiles (mirror images of each other) and use your CNC router to rout them (glue them up...if you need to make it wider.....use some plywood profiles in the center section). then I would make a base with 2 runners...if you want a rocking horse.....otherwise....make a couple of 'U' shapes and attach springs (preferable large rubber bands) and attach them to the snout and the hind quarters.
