This is the rocking horse most adults picture when they hear the words, updated in the ways that matter to a small child. Squeeze the ears and electronic neighing and galloping play back, so the pony has a voice the rest is a softly padded polyester plush body over a wood and metal frame, with a comfortable riding saddle sitting on top.The numbers are the surprise. The whole horse weighs 4.4 lb, light enough to carry from the playroom to a bedroom with one hand, yet it supports riders up to 110 lbs, which means a three year old and their older brother or sister can both have a turn. It measures 30.75 in long by 11 in wide by 26.75 in tall and rocks on smooth runners that give the feel of a gallop without any of the risk of an actual ride. Two Aa batteries run the sound. For a child of 36 months and up it works as a first proper riding toy, and the plush body stays soft enough to hug once the riding stops.
