In this Monday Minute in the Archives, we take a fun look at a playful piece of history—an executive rocking horse named "Rock-It" that Mrs. Reagan kept at her beloved Rancho del Cielo, now stored in the Reagan Library's archives.
This month, we're highlighting a handful of items President and Mrs. Reagan used while enjoying their cherished ranch in the Santa Ynez Mountains. High above the coast, Rancho del Cielo was a peaceful place where the President and First Lady could relax, ride, and feel right at home.
Today's featured item brings a smile. Cimarron Woodworks, Ltd. gave Mrs. Reagan their executive rocking horse, "Rock-It," a giant piece branded with Nancy Reagan's own initials. And it wasn't just for show—Mrs. Reagan even hopped on and rode this oversized rocking horse when it was on display at the ranch. It's a wonderful reminder of the joy and lightheartedness the Reagans shared at their "Ranch in the Sky."
This piece is part of the Reagan Library's archives, offering a personal glimpse into the everyday joys of life at Rancho del Cielo.
What playful keepsake would you love to see from the Reagans' ranch? Let us know in the comments below.
