9 Neigh-Worthy Kids Horse Toys Because EVERYONE Needs A Pony

It doesn’t get more classic than this ride-on rocking horse toy. Champion is its name. And it’s a realistically designed spring horse that responds to your child’s motion. 3 levels of riding action – walk, trot, gallop – activate different realistic horse riding sounds. And the carrot makes chewing sounds to encourage imaginative play for your little one. Built-in safety straps bring protection for your little rider (and piece of mind for mama). The innovative x-frame is easy to maneuver and has an EZ climb step that allows for quick on and off access. A favorite detail? The soft yarn mane that can be brushed with the comb accessory. One reviewer said: “My 2.5 year old loves this horse. Even after the excitement of Christmas is gone, she still rides “horsie”. We had to move him into the living room!”

Why not pair horse toys with their favorite show? Kiddos can build Mia’s toy ATV and trailer using the easy instructions. The 216-piece set includes Mia and Emma mini-dolls, a rabbit and horse figure, a toy ATV, horse trailer, LEGO friend horse accessories, a grooming kit, and a sweet forest scene for the toy rabbit. They’ll love creating their own little fairy-filled woodland adventures. Plus the trailer has roof and tailgate access, and hitches to the ATV. The set has v realistic features – like a horse blanket, saddle, brush, carrot, and more – so kids can know what it’s actually like to own a horse. And like all LEGO sets, it can be built together with other sets and building blocks for hours and hours of play.

It doesn’t get more extra than this. And for that, we love it. And we think your little one will too. The large size of this riding horse toy with wheels provides a comfy riding experience and will actually grow with your kiddo. It has the look of a classic riding horse but with a new mechanical forward motion technology. All it takes is simply pushing down and then releasing the head in a stand-sit motion, propelling the toy across the floor. The riding saddle is secure over a plush, padded metal frame to create some authentic gallop and giggle time. Even better? The ears have buttons for realistic neighing and galloping sounds. It’s basically the next best thing to a real pony.

Hobby horsing is not only ridiculously adorable, but it’s the exercise your kid needs to spend all that crazy energy. This pretty pony measures 36” long and is durable enough for the wildest of cowboys or cowgirls. It’s sure to excite their imagination. Built-in sound effects like neighing, galloping, and whinnying make it even more realistic. Plus it’s available in brown or light brown. Pick it up as a gift for your fave LO, or as an accessory for your kiddos’s next western-inspired costume. One mama raved: “Our toddler adores this stick pony. She ‘rides’ pony around the house making horsey noises. The pony’s sound effects are good, too — galloping hooves, whinnying, and snorting. The head unscrews from the stick, and little one can take the horse head around with her, holding it by the bridle. A little creepy, but hey, the kid is happy and nobody’s getting hit with a stick in the car!” Sounds like a win-win to us!

Every pony owner needs a fancy stable. This playset comes with two stalls that fit the sparkly Glitter Girls 14” horses (sold separately for $25 a pop and available in lots of different colors), gates that open and close, a saddle, and so much more!

Every little princess needs a horse-drawn carriage. Now one of our favorite brands is making that possible. Your little babe will feel like royalty when they take the reins. It has a back handle for parents to push or reigns to pull from the front. There’s a removable floor board for when your child is younger and can’t push with their feet. As they grow, it converts to a foot-to-floor ride-on toy. Kids can take the reigns and “drive” themselves. It even makes horse clopping sounds. And for convenience, there are cupholders for both parents and kids. We love the parent console on the roof. Your mini me will like opening and closing the door and ruling over their kingdom. Sweet details include a crown on the roof, heart decal wheels, and regal embellishments throughout. Weight limit is 50 pounds so it really will grow with your child.

One parent said, “My toddler is over the moon. This set satisfies his obsessive love of horses, and his parents are pleased that the stable is a great place to keep them together when being stored.”  Take it to the park, on the airplane, or just for a fun ride in the backyard.

The materials make it great for indoor or outdoor use and the handle makes it easy to tote around from room to room or house to yard. One reviewer raved about its durability: “Little Tikes never disappoints with how well-made their products are. My son has definitely tested it to the breaking point and its still perfect. We will be giving this rocking horse to my nephew and I am sure it will be handed down over and over again.”
