The red scarf is a small thing that changes the whole horse. It gives the pony an outfit, a hint of a story, and a reason for a child to decide the horse is going somewhere in particular. Press the ears and simulated galloping plays, so the journey has hoofbeats to go with it. Underneath the softly padded polyester plush is a solid, stable metal frame, which is how a rocker weighing only 6.6 lb still supports riders up to 88 lbs. A comfortable riding saddle, a footrest, and handlebars hold a child in a proper riding position, so the rocking works core and arm muscles and refines balance rather than simply moving them back and forth. Smooth runners keep the motion controlled, giving the feel of a gallop without the risk of a real one, and the 25.5 in long by 10.25 in wide frame tucks neatly against a wall between rides.
