Anyone who has ever dreamed of taming a wild pony will thrill to imagine a ride on this horse's blanketed back. With just a little practice, this talented horse will run, trot, rear, bow and 'count' with amazing realism. It's an exciting wooden action toy that is sure to delight children and adults alike. Designed and handmade by me and my family members since 1981. The optional hardwood Display-stand is made to hold the marionette and make it an impressive decorative accessory when not in use. The additional cost of the Display-stand when purchased with a marionette is $24. (The cost of a Display-stand when purchased separately is $48.)
