The Mobo Bronco pressed-steel toy ride-horse was first made in Kent, England, in 1947 by
D. Sebel & Sons
. It helps illustrate the change in toy horse production from timber to moulded plastic via pressed metal, a change that is also reflected in other types of ride-on toys, including pedal cars. The firm continued in production until 1971, being forced out of business by cheaper toys made in Asia.
