Clavileño the Swift
Clavileño the Swift is a magical wooden horse that appears in the second part of the adventures of Don Quixote. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are tricked into using Clavileño, believing they have flown blindfolded and have controlled the horse with a peg in its head. In reality, the rocking horse is inanimate and goes nowhere, while explosives are planted near it to simulate a crash landing. Sancho Panza later goes on to say that he lifted his blindfold while "in flight" and saw the sky.
