Le palonnier est une pièce mobile en fer ou en bois, fixée par un axe central à l'avant de la voiture. On y attache les traits. Il suit le mouvement des épaules du cheval et peut donc éviter de le blesser par un jeu exagéré du collier et de la bricole. 2, record 1, French, - palonnier

Parmi les jouets antiques du Québec, le cheval de bois occupe une place privilégiée. Les artisans menuisiers ou sculpteurs ont fabriqué des chevaux sur roulettes(ou à roulettes), à patins, à berceaux(ou chevaux berçants), à bascule(ou en balançoire), tous pouvant être enfourchés par un enfant. Le mouvement du cheval berçant ou cheval à berceaux, est celui de la berceuse; celui du cheval à bascule ou cheval en balançoire est sensiblement le même, sauf qu'avec un mécanisme un peu plus sophistiqué, le va-et-vient du cheval de bois imite davantage la projection vers l'avant puis l'arrière d’un cavalier en selle. 4, record 3, French, - cheval%20ber%C3%A7ant
