Our Vision

Veslo Company is a family business of Anrij and Marta, which they have jointly set up in 2015 in Lviv, Ukraine. Being inspired by the first rocking horse that Andrij carved for his little niece, they decided to continue their work with wood and to keep on experimenting with different horse models. This is how Valley Legend, Wander Herald, Secret Zebra, Elusive Rainbow and other hand carved rocking horses were born. The young family has combined harmoniously old English traditions and Ukrainian mastery in the work they do and up to this day constantly improve their products.

• Andriy (the craftsman): “I got inspired to create the first rocking horse in my life when I saw how a piece of wood is being transformed into a fine and beautiful horse’s head. Three years have passed since then but you will not find two identical horses, because each of them has its own unique facial features, eyes, cheekbones, ears and teeth. This is a continuous process of creation.”
• Marta-Maria (strategist): “I have been working with children for my whole life and I have been watching many times how children create a new different world from their toys. They imagine their own fairy tale where they and everything around them are the main characters. This is how a rocking horse becomes a good friend accompanying a child on the long road, to the country that they have just invented. We are aspired to give children space of dreams and fantasies.”
