Yeah, these ones. Nice big squishy springs that you could get your fingers stuck in... that nice growly screechy stretchy spring sound, the back and forth and up and down trying to get the horse to buck you off.. the stirrups, the plastic handles coming out of the side of the horses head...
Anyway, they have a new sissy version out (I mean safer, better, more kid-friendly version). The springs are covered, the horse's seat has padding, etc. Some of these horses are even PLUSH. A giant stuffed horse you can ride! You probably can't bounce as high or gallop as far on them though, I don't know. I'm too big to test drive the new style ones...
Anyway... Kaylee does not have one of these. She has a little wooden rocking horse with a cute little mane on it made out of yarn, though. We should really bring that out into the living room for her now. I think it's just her size.
But I digress. Just a few days ago, she learned a new trick.
See? She doesn't actually *need* one of these horses. She has something MUCH better; a rocking recliner. Heh...... Enjoy!
Yep, we had one of those.
ReplyDeleteHow cute!
Kaylee is so cute! I remember the rocking horses when I was a child. My Mom was always afraid I would fall off the horse. Kaylee has her own rocking chair which is more "exquisite" than a horse!

Lauren has this pony: http://tinyurl.com/y8o8suv The saddle comes off. She still uses it at 4 (but she's really small for her age).
