"Ride a Cock Horse" is a traditional Nursery Rhyme for children. The "cock horse" in the song is a toy horse or "hobby horse" which children used to play with, but in more recent times parents will often bounce children on the knee in time to the music as though riding on a horse. In this way the song becomes a lot of fun, and children will frequently ask for more.
