This family of horses includes four Appaloosa horses with a velvety texture, realistic tails and manes, and dramatic color markings. The horses are sturdy play figures and there are two adult horses and two foals.
The larger horses have saddles and reins that can be removed for play. A companion toy, a folding horse stable, is available separately.

Gallop – Musical Horse by Cuddle Barn. Click the photo to see the price on Amazon.
Perfect for younger children, this cuddly horse toy will sing “Giddy Up, Lil’ Cowboy” when its right ear is pressed. If the left ear is pressed, the horse will gallop and wiggle its tail as it makes trotting noises.
