From the Manufacturer
This classic spring horse has a real yarn mane and tail. Beautifully sculpted with great attention to details make this horse attractive and realistic. The sturdy steel frame is extra wide, so as to prevent tipping.

Customer Reviews

Hazardous
Caution: My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES this horse. He rides it everyday, many times a day. It is only 2 months old and already the spring covers are destroyed and yesterday the S hook that connects the spring to the horse BROKE in half causing my son to fall. Fortunately, the wall 'caught' him or else he may have been impaled by the pole support of the horse and seriously injured. My son was left only with a bruise on his nose and hurt feelings because his horse was broken. We contacted Radio Flyer. They offered to ship us more S hooks, but somehow I think they lost the bigger picture of the safety hazard of this toy. I think and hope it will be recalled before an innocent child is seriously hurt or killed. Please consider this before purchasing. Thank you.

New and improved
After coming across this item, I thought it would be the perfect Christmas gift for my 2.5 year old. However, after reading all the negative reviews on this horse, I had second thoughts and called Radio Flyer directly. They said they have addressed all the initial problems that happened when this product first came out almost 2 years ago. They said that for the past year the improved model they are now selling has fabric spring covers (not plastic anymore) and that there is an added safety strap feature that hooks on to the horse's body that will prevent the child from being pitched off in the event that one of the S-hooks breaks. They also said owners of any of the original versions can contact them and they will send out a free repair kit that contains these items which they can then retrofit. So I am crossing my fingers that these problems don't exist anymore and have placed an online order for this. Will update my review once I get it.

The best by far!
This horse is sooo nice. The yarn mane is very cute. The foot rests, besides being better than those of other similar horses because of the 3 levels, are better because they are so much more substantial. The others are of a much thinner plastic, and since that's where your child's foot would be its good that its sturdy and not easily cracked. But my favorite feature is the soft seat. It is really thick. Little one's can bounce to their heart's content without a sore bottom. If you purchase the horse at a Toys R Us store, they will assemble it for you for ten bucks. I highly recommend this horse!
