C.S. Puttick & Co. were a Waterlooville-based company who apparently manufactured a coin operated horse in the 1960s. The only evidence I have of either the company or its equine's existence is in the form of a run of adverts printed in The Coin Slot in 1967.
The Coin Slot, June 1967
The advert states that the "6d coin operated kiddie rides" consist of a "fibreglass base and horse" with a "one minute run". The ride is of "high quality and reliable", and could be purchased for just £165.
I have a theory that the horse in question may be this one but, despite many years of searching, I still have no evidence to back this up unfortunately.
