A long-haired pink pony with a tail that swings as it moves is a hard thing for a three year old to walk past. This rocker leans into that: the mane is there to brush, the ears hide a sound button that brings out simulated neighing and galloping, and every push forward sets the tail going again.The softly padded polyester plush body sits over a solid metal frame, which is how a rocker weighing only 6.6 lb still supports riders up to 88 lbs. A comfortable saddle and a footrest hold a child in a real riding position, and smooth rocking runners keep the motion steady rather than sharp. At 23.5 in long by 13.75 in wide by 19.75 in tall it fits easily in a bedroom corner. All that rocking strengthens core and arm muscles and works on balance, so a wild afternoon in the imaginary west is doing something useful as well.
