My hand is not very big for reference. It’s cute but very small. When it came one of the eyes were scratched and so was the paint off the wooden stick. Given the choice my daughter decided she would rather have one from Walmart that was much bigger and made noise even if the stick was shorter.

Belle qualité, un peu plus petit que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Robuste. Par contre, j'ai acheté un modèle semblable en magasin pour le tiers du prix avec une tête plus grosse et qui faisait du bruit et j'en suis plus satisfaite. J'aurais aimé payer moins cher pour le produit.

These stick horses are very sturdy. We’ve never had a head fall off the stick or and fabric tears or the stick break. We have owned three different colored horses for 6 years. They are all going strong! Only downside is the batteries for the noises die and you can’t replace them, so after awhile your horse can’t make noise anymore. But we’ll take that over the other brand that broke after two years.

It's a little big for a three year old. The straps are cheaply made. The sound is too soft and difficult to hear. Child will enjoy. The end should have been covered with something to not wrench the floor.

No instructions...battery next to dead so only slightest sounds can be heard...cannot find where to change out battery or if it is even possible to do so. Thought I was ordering from Amazon.ca as this is where I have my account....this item came from Texas and duty was charged on the item. Therefore, I was not satisfied with the experience and will think twice about ordering anything other than ebooks for kindle from here on.

I rarely write reviews, but something prompted me to get on Amazon and say how happy I am with this horse. Maybe it's because all the other stick horses were huge, heavy and had inappropriately long sticks for young children (looking at you, Melissa & Doug!). OR, they looked extremely cheap - or ugly. I wanted to get one for my 2.5 year old daughter, and was sort of astounded at how none seemed to fit the bill. Mostly, I didn't want her to whack another kid in the face when she brings it to the playground, or have it dragging along the floor when she galloped. So, I decided on this Mary Meyer horse. He looked cuter than most and friendly, yet true-to-life. And, my #1 criteria - the stick size was smaller than the majority of others. Receiving this and seeing my daughter love and play with it was sort of a smart-shopping high! The quality is excellent on both the stuffed head and the wood. It doesn't look like a cheap carnival stuffed animal. It's light yet sturdy. The stick size is PERFECT. It gives her enough length to feel like she's riding it, but doesn't hang too low to be cumbersome. It's manageable to play with inside, and easy to carry outside. The "galloping" and "neigh" sounds are great. My daughter loves it so much, she called it her best friend, it was adorable! I'm always happy with a good find, especially when I've really done my research in a sea of seemingly inferior products. An excellent buy!

Last October we were in Disney World and had dinner at the Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge. Every hour or so they bring out a barrel of hobby horses and all the kids get on the and run around the restaurant for a couple of laps. My daughter had so much fun that all she wanted to do the next day was do a horsey ride so I made a mental note to get her one for Christmas.Christmas rolled around and the we wrapped just the head in wrapping paper and my daughter first thought it was a giant lolly pop before she opened it.She still rides around with it and it is well built. Tons of fun!

This was the most favorite christmas present ever. We were surprised when the horse actually neighed when you pressed a button on the ear. The bridle has held up very well to continual playing and dragging around. The only thing disappointing was that the sound stopped after a few months and we can't figure out how to replace batteries. But that hasn't hampered the play. We wanted a toy to provide an outlet for pretend play and this did that. So simple, yet so fun.

I ordered this Ride'Um Horse for my 3 year old, who is very into horses and cowboys right now. I chose this particular stick horse because of the size (it's not too big), the horse looked cuter than some of the other options available, and the price was right. Now that I have received it, and given it to my son to play with, I am very happy with this toy. The size is perfect, the stick isn't so long that it hits the ground or drags when my son runs around with it. At the same time, my much taller 6 year old boy still has fun playing with it as well. The sounds are very cute, and give the horse that little bit extra, and make it even more fun. I love that the sound is not loud, it's quiet, and I am very thankful for that. With 2 boys, loud toys give me headaches after about 15 minutes, and this toy is the best of both worlds. The sound provides extra fun for the boys, but it's not so loud that I want to try to remove the batteries to save my sanity.My kids are both having a blast playing with this horse. When I saw the picture, I was a bit nervous that the horse head part was not going to be very cute, but I was again pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and saw that the horse is very cute. The picture makes it seem like the nose and mouth are extra long, but on the actual toy, the horse is very cute, and the fabric is soft.The only negative I can possibly think of is the reigns. The reigns on the horse are super short, just long enough for one hand to grab on to. However, this really does not take away from my kids enjoyment of the toy.SInce both of my boys are having so much fun with this toy, I am very tempted to buy a second one so both of my kids can have their own horse. I would by this exact same horse again, and I recommend this particular toy to anyone else looking for a stick horse.

Our 3 year old g'daughter wanted a stick horse for Christmas and we were happy to oblige her since this toy allows her to use her imagination. We choose the Appaloosa just to be different but our g'daughter heard this as being an "Appleloosa" and named her horse "Apple"!This is a well-made item. Have to say that the reins are too short due to safety reasons. But the horse head is cute; the 3 sounds (whinny,snort,gallop) are not over-the-top; the overall size is good proportion for young child. She is very happy with Apple. Her mom is happy with a toy that allows creativity. We are happy with the quality of this gift.
