Ep 19. The Rocking Horse Badge

Hey Duggee season 1 episode 19, titled "The Rocking Horse Badge," follows Duggee and the Squirrels as they work towards earning their next badge - the Rocking Horse Badge. The episode begins with the Squirrels playing a game of horsey, with each Squirrel taking turns to ride on the horse. They soon realize that they don't have a real horse to ride on and start building their own rockers to create their own rocking horse.

Duggee, amazed by their creativity, suggests that they earn the Rocking Horse Badge by building a real rocking horse. So, he hands them a blueprint and a pile of wood and tools to help them get started. The Squirrels are excited and eager to build a rocking horse, but soon realize that building a rocking horse is not as easy as it seems. They quickly find themselves struggling with the building process, and their initial excitement starts to wane.

To help them out, Duggee lends a hand and starts demonstrating how to use the tools and how to measure the right dimensions for the parts of the horse. He also advises them to work together and communicate effectively to build the horse successfully. The Squirrels pick up on the tips from Duggee and start working together as a team.

As they make progress with their rocking horse, the Squirrels soon realize that they don't have a tail for their horse. They remember that they had found a feather earlier in the day and decide to use it as their horse's tail. They also use a piece of cloth to make a saddle for their horse and some scraps of fabric to make a mane.

With the horse complete, they realize that they don't have a rider for their rocking horse. They take turns trying to ride the horse, but all of them are too big to fit. They soon see that their friend, Norrie, who is the smallest, is the perfect size for the rider. Norrie jumps at the opportunity, and with a little help, she climbs up on the rocking horse and starts to ride it.

The Squirrels are delighted that they've completed their rocking horse and that Norrie enjoys riding it. They proudly show their creation to Duggee, who is equally happy and impressed with what they've made. Duggee awards them the Rocking Horse Badge, and the Squirrels put it on their jackets with great pride.

The episode ends with the Squirrels riding around the clubhouse on their new rocking horse, excited about their accomplishment, and feeling like they can tackle any challenge as a team. This episode exemplifies the positive impact that working together, effective communication, and perseverance can have when striving for a common goal. It also encourages creativity and resourcefulness, and shows that things don't always have to be perfect to be a success.
