Mechanical Riding Horse Plans: What a Complete Build Guide Needs

A moving, rideable wooden horse is not a project that can be reproduced reliably from a silhouette and a few dimensions. The body, frame and mechanism have to work as one system. That is why a useful plan set needs to document much more than the visible wooden parts.

More than a woodworking drawing

The wooden structure is only one part of the project. A reproducible build also needs the positions and specifications of shafts, bearings, flat-steel parts, cable routing, drive components and their relationship to the moving body.

What removes the guesswork

The TrueBuild project was documented from the working prototype. The complete guide combines dimensioned drawings, full-size printable templates, cutting information, material and shopping lists, component specifications, assembly sequence, reference photographs, adjustment notes and troubleshooting.

Plans versus a physical kit

The TrueBuild guide is a digital construction document. No timber, hardware, drive components, tools or finished horse are supplied. Builders source the materials themselves using the specifications in the guide.
