It's the wooden horse ridden by Don Quijote, or possibly, any rocking horse.

Wooden horse or rocking horse sounds good to me. Thanks. From a poem: La unidad de fuerza de los motores de aviación no debía ser el caballo sino el hipografo o el clavileño.

He did! Rocinante is Don Quijote's actual horse, whereas Clavileño is the horse only mentioned in the later part of the book. He's tricked into using Clavileño.

Ah thanks! I did think Rosinate was rather thin and bony, easy mistaka to maka, I suppose.. - annierats, Jun 11, 2012

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I looked up "caviller" because I thought that it might be similar, but it didn't match. Sorry.
La palabra clavileño no está en el Diccionario.
