  Maybe it belongs to a fan of Rolf Harris?

  Rocking horses seem very popular at the moment, in what I suppose is the run-up to Christmas.
  
  There is a little shop at the back of the Charlton Centre, where it exits onto the multi-storey carpark, selling a very nice modern version complete with sound effects and they are going like hot cakes.
