Stick Pony and Hobby Horse Toys for Kids - Yee haw

Traditionally hobby horses were wooden. Kids originally played with hobby horses before there were motor cars, so horses would have been a part of everyday life. 

This solid pine hobby horse has a nice traditional look to it. Being wooden means this hobby horse is quite heavy so it's probably not the best choice for really little kids. But preschoolers will have lots of fun with it. 

This Melissa & Doug Deluxe Gallop-N-Go Stick Pony w/Sound is very popular. He has a soft brown head and a lovely striped pole. He also makes horse sounds when you press his ear (don't forget the 2 AA batteries he'll need.)

This pony will be at home in the wild west but we think the stripey stick makes him look just right to be the horse of a medieval knight. 

My boys love pretending to be Mike the Knight and doing knightly things on their hobby horses. They are 3.5 and 5 years old - just right for a hobby horse! (They've had them a couple of years now.)

This Melissa & Doug hobby horse is for kids ages 3-6. 

Some little girls just love pink don't they! This pink plush hobby horse is perfect for princesses who need transport, lady knights who want to fight dragons and get all their treasure, and cowgirls. 

This pink plush ride on pony has purple reins and make horse sounds too. She's even got a pretty flower. 

This Tek Nek Sing Along Brown Stick Pony is a fun choice! He has an animated plush face and sings his own pony song!

He has a parental volume control too, which is a welcome touch. There's nothing you can do about the volume of the kids as they sing along with him though! (But it is cute.)
