Wooden Automata – The Horse

As part of North American tradition, horses have been featured in western movies, fairy tales and constellations. We pay homage to the running horse with a cool automaton that beckons you to turn the handle and run like the wind!

You can colour it with magic markers, or even paint it up to resemble a zebra or unicorn. Easy to assemble, this kit uses a single linkage to make the movement. There is even a horse head shaped window to see how the crankshaft works!

This is an easy to make and fun to play with automata. A great gift for horse lovers and those who want to be a horse owner at a fraction of the cost (this kit has been pre-fed and could run for years!).

 To build this kit, you will only need a pair of scissors and a ruler.
