Description
This red plastic horse toy trots when you squeeze its pump, and that simple bit of air-powered fun is the whole charm of it. The horse is moulded in bright red PVC with a ridged mane, a flowing tail, a small ring at the mouth and a pale grey saddle across its back. A long pink tube runs from its hindquarters to a ribbed green squeeze pump, also made of PVC, so all the action comes from your own hand. It stands 10.8cm tall, measures 14cm long and 5.4cm wide, and weighs just 25g, so it is light and easy to handle.
It is a toy made for simple play: set the horse down on a table or the floor, give the green pump a squeeze and watch it trot. Because the pump sits at the end of a long tube, whoever is squeezing can stay back while the horse does the work, which makes it a good one for taking turns and a nice change from screens. It suits a playroom shelf, a toy box or a desk drawer, ready to come out whenever someone wants a few minutes of fun, and the classic horse shape, with its saddle and swept-back mane, has a cheerful, old-fashioned look that sits happily alongside other traditional toys.
The horse and pump are both plastic (PVC), joined by the long tube, and the saddle is a paper sticker. To keep it looking its best, wipe the plastic with a damp cloth and let it dry, and keep the paper saddle away from water. Store the tube loosely coiled rather than knotted so it stays ready to use. As a present it makes a small, cheerful surprise, quick to wrap, and this little trotting horse brings an easy kind of fun that needs nothing more than a squeeze.
