A cockhorse is a traditional children's toy that resembles a horse and is designed for imaginative play. It typically consists of a wooden or metal frame with a seat, handles for the child to hold onto, and sometimes even wheels. Children can sit on the seat, hold onto the handles, and pretend to ride the cockhorse, using their imagination to create exciting adventures. The term "cockhorse" comes from the combination of "cock," meaning rooster, and "horse," referring to the toy's horse-like appearance.
