Unlike a traditional rocking horse, this spring-mounted ride-on horse moves on its own, responding to every shift of a child's body for a bouncier, more dynamic ride. Coiled springs connect the plush horse to an exterior frame, letting it dip and sway in a way that mimics real horse movement, while a squeeze of the ear brings out galloping hoofbeats and a neigh. The soft, fully stuffed plush body and cushioned saddle keep riders comfortable through active bouncing that helps build core strength and balance. A solid metal frame anchors the toy and is rated to support up to 132 pounds, so it keeps up with bigger kids too. Standing about 39.4 inches long and 35.4 inches tall with a 26.5 inch seat height, it suits a playroom with some open floor space. Recommended for children ages 5 to 12, it ships with the two AA batteries needed for sound and requires simple assembly.
