Horses Reviews

I got this model in addition to Scamper the barrelracer. Dun It is beautifully and realistically colored with a pale dun coat, tiger stripes, dark mane and tail, and dark muzzle. This model would look great on a display shelf but isn't good to play with. The paint comes off a little easily, the tail tip can get nicked easily, and you can't do much with the position it is in. Otherwise, this is a truly special model.

This model is one of the best new molds that Breyer has produced in the past ten years. They are finally recognizing Rodeo horses in their line. Hollywood Dun It is an awesome model, with beautiful coloration!

I bought this horse for my 8 month old son, because I thought it was so cute. I sat him on the saddle, and he automatically grabbed hold of its mane and started bouncing up and down!! When you squeeze its ear, it makes a galloping noise, and whinnies. Not only does my son like to "ride"it, but he also loves to lie down with his head on it while he drinks his bottle. It's big, adorable, and durable enough to take the abuse it does.

This is the new carriage and the only thing my daughter really wanted for her 4th birthday. Of course we bought it for her. Unfortunately, it has not been my favorite toy because every time she plays with it the horses come apart from the carriage. Which means it has to be put together again. It is all plastic, but seems to be strong for now. She does play with it alot and it does spark her princess imagination.

I love my Barbie Horse! The only problem is..... it isn't real! Italso can fall apart if you are rough!

If your looking for a fun, durable horse this is the one for you! The pose its in is just great, and wonderful for childs imagintion to explore! But, this defently is an overly priced breyer horse that isn't worth it, when you could just buy Hidalgo, or Cigar for cheaper.

These two unicorns are wonderful looking. They look exactly the way you'd think a unicorn would look. The filly is a little bit boring cause it just lays there. They are worth every buck.

My daughter received the set of these pony's for her 3rd birthday. She was thrilled with them and has enjoyed playing with them ever since.
She really loves the accessories you get with each pony. One thing we have noted with Twinkles cot is that it actually opens at one end, so Twinkles doesn't have to "jump" (or be lifted) into the cot - she can simply walk in herself. Little attention to detail that makes this toy even more fun.

The little book you receive with the toy is a wonderful addition the playset. We have enjoyed reading it together and learning more about the Pony Friendships.

Another thing my daugther likes is that the bath/cot/highchair accessories are the perfect size for her Loving Family dolls and dollhouse. So now the pony's share a room with the Loving Family babies and they all share each other's things.

Wonderful on it's own but lots of fun with Loving Family as well. As with all Fisher Price we have found it to be extremely durable - especially when her little brother is in a "throwing toys" stage!

I think that this is a great grooming kit, and it shows you some grooming items. However, you might want to consider being careful with it, as some parts are fragile. If you have a collection of Breyers, this would be a nice addition.

This puzzle is really beautiful and well constructed, but a couple of it's attributes make it a bit frustrating for the younger crowd (Amazon says 3+, the sticker on the back of the puzzle says 4+).

My little guy is 3 and his favorite activity is putting puzzles together. The little 25-30 piece puzzles have become too easy for him, so I got this one with 48 pieces. I've been teaching him to put puzzle pieces together gently (rather than mashing and beating them together as rough and tumble boys sometimes tend to do) so that he doesn't bend up the cardboard pieces. I explain to him that if he has the correct two pieces, they will go together easily. This puzzle, however, is constructed of wood and is thicker than typical puzzles, so the pieces don't just slide together. They do fit well together, but you have to line them up well and use a bit more pressure than usual, so he often thinks he has the wrong piece when he actually has the right one. This is frustrating for him.

My other issue with this puzzle is the lack of a picture to go by. I expect it is good memory practice for older kids to see the puzzle together, take it apart, and put it together from memory, but this isn't so easy for a three-year-old. My little guy can do it, but he gets frustrated when he can't remember what the puzzle looked like and so isn't quite certain what general area to put a loose piece near.

Other things to keep in mind when you are deciding whether to purchase this puzzle include it's size and storage needs. It is larger than other flat wood puzzles and doesn't fit into the puzzle storage or drawers we generally have available for our puzzles. It's dimensions are about 15.5 x 11.75. Also, it comes in it's wood tray, so it does not have a box and the puzzle has to be completely put together to be stored properly. The wood tray is nice, but is not absolutely necessary to put the puzzle together, so if the size of the tray is a problem for storage you could put the pieces in a baggie or box of your own and keep it separate from the tray.

This puzzle looks nice enough to glue together and hang on a wall when your child (or even multiple children) has outgrown it. It is very durable and is likely to last quite well up to that point even with repeated use (I wanna do this one again, Mommy! Pleeeeaaaaassssse!!)

Altough I have been delighted by all of my past experiences with breyer products, this one in particular does not seem very durable. On the bottom of the wooden part of the jump, one of the arch shaped wooden blocks that helps hold the fence up has broken off. This is something that can easily be fixed with a little help from a hot glue gun. The green part of the jump has flaky plastic green material that gets slightly messy when I play with it. This jump was meant to be used by someone in a model horse show who wanted a realistic prop. If you're looking for a toy, I'd suggest one of breyers all wooden jumps. If you buy this though, it is mostly good and any die-hard horse enthusiast will enjoy having imaginary shows with this one!
