'toys' is the definition.
(rocking horse is a kind of toy)

'controversially shocking errors lose right' is the wordplay.
'controversially' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'lose' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'shocking'+'errors'='shockingerrors'
'shockingerrors' with 'r' removed is 'shockingerors'.
'shockingerors' anagrammed gives 'ROCKING-HORSES'.

'to children's wooden' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
