A rocking horse is a child's toy, usually shaped like a horse and mounted on rockers similar to a rocking chair.
Predecessors of the rocking horse may be seen in the rocking cradle, the tilting seats used during the Middle Ages for jousting practice as well as the wheeled hobby horse. The toy in its current form did not appear before the 17th century, though some conflicting sources note medieval manuscripts including references to carved rocking horses, presumably of the toy kind.
From the 19th century onward rocking horses became more commonly considered as child's toy. Mostly built by hobby woodcrafters, and ranging from relatively crude to finely ornamented and the toys of future kings, it was not until the late 19th century that the production became industrialised.
There are two sorts, the one where the horse part sits rigidly attached to a par of curved rockers that are in contact with the ground, and a second sort, where the horse hangs on a rigid frame by iron straps the horse moves only relative to the frame, which does not move.
Rocking Horse is director Yaky Yosha's second feature made in 1978. It was the first film to represent Israel in the Directors’ Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival. It also participated at Locarno, San-Francisco, Chicago and many other international festivals. Rocking Horse received the special judges' award and the best actor award at the Oxford, England, film festival.
Plot
Ami Susetz, an Israeli artist, abandons his wife and daughter in New York, and comes back to his home land after years of absence.
Susetz wishes to decipher his constant feeling of failure as a human being, as a family man, as an artist. His best friends were killed in war, his paintings were burned not without intent. He has no past and no future.
Back home Susetz reunites with his dying father, with his mother, who unsuccessfully tries to understand her son, and with a childhood friend, Ansberg, now a philosopher/homeless.
Ansberg has adopted unusual methods in order to bring love back to Tel-Aviv and expects "conscientious" Susetz to assist him in that. Susetz cannot be a "conscientious", or anything else for that matter, not before he resolves his own personal fate: who is he, why was he born, why does he live.
Covering an area of 47,719km2 (18,424sqmi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west-east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.
The river, used for irrigation and hydroelectric power, is about 129 kilometres (80mi) long; its chief tributary is the Arga River.
Ecology
Non-government sanctioned re-introduction of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Spain around 2003 has resulted in tell-tale beaver signs documented on a 60-kilometre (37mi) stretch on the lower course of the Aragon River and the area adjoining the Ebro River in Aragon, Spain.

A rocking horse is a child's toy, usually shaped like a horse and mounted on rockers similar to a rocking chair.
Predecessors of the rocking horse may be seen in the rocking cradle, the tilting seats used during the Middle Ages for jousting practice as well as the wheeled hobby horse. The toy in its current form did not appear before the 17th century, though some conflicting sources note medieval manuscripts including references to carved rocking horses, presumably of the toy kind.
From the 19th century onward rocking horses became more commonly considered as child's toy. Mostly built by hobby woodcrafters, and ranging from relatively crude to finely ornamented and the toys of future kings, it was not until the late 19th century that the production became industrialised.
There are two sorts, the one where the horse part sits rigidly attached to a par of curved rockers that are in contact with the ground, and a second sort, where the horse hangs on a rigid frame by iron straps the horse moves only relative to the frame, which does not move.
"My guardian angel wears a hard hat," Said the boy with the microphone "Else, I wouldn't be standing here today Ever since I was a young a boy I couldn't leave well enough alone Always trouble standing in my way Up, down, anywhere but in the middle Off the wagon, under the wheel again All or nothing - never could do just a little Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Hard living be the death of me Lead me to an early grave To die in the saddle must be my destiny But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed Good clean fun is just my imagination Down and dirty that's the way the game is played This hard life has caused me aggravation Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Can't leave it alone
