Mary Meyer Hobby Horse Toy Easy Ride 'Um Stick Horses with Galloping and Neighing Sounds, 33-Inches Tall, Brown

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!

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.

so very cute

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.Mary Meyer Easy Ride'Ums, Easy Ride'Um Appaloosa, 33"

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.

as a Dothraki warrior, having a decent mount is integral not only to fighting off worthless westerners from the Free Cities, but also in impressing the ladies of the Khalasar. Ever since losing my mount, Buttercup, last summer in a game of Go Fish, I have been forced to drive my "chevrolegs" around the plains, and boy, is that tiring! until I can save enough gold to buy another horse (or steal one from a plainsman) this will have to do. I love it though, and I was very impressed by the horse-like noises you can have it make at the push of a button. The roan coloring is very stylish, and has helped me mount several of our lady-slaves without any resistance. When someone asks me if there is a better deal on a stick-horse, I have to honestly answer them NAAAAAYYYYY!

I bought this and had it shipped directly to my grandson, it did work up until a few days ago. However, I came to visit today and he wanted to show Grandma and it isn't working. He received it March 23rd, today is April 23rd, it didn't even work a month 😢. I pulled up my order and it says return window closed yesterday. I couldn't even find a way to contact them. 'm really not a happy customer.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent with updates on delivery delays. Impressed with the item.

arrived quickly and exactly as described. They are perfect for our needs.
