A Cock Horse?

[Jemisa]

I wasn't sure where to put this one...

I've been looking after my Grandchildren for a couple of days & we were going through an old Nursery Rhymn book (was mine) & the youngest (5) said "What is a cock horse nanny" & I had to admit I didn't know.
Google's no help. Anyone know?

I had an idea it was some sort of Rocking Horse but not at all sure.

Chris to the rescue, I knew you would be, thanks Chris.
