The Toy Review

Do you remember the pony on a stick? Is there a kid alive who hasn’t had one of these? Who hasn’t galloped off to amazing adventures with an imaginary posse? Well, except me. I only had a broomstick, but I always wanted one of these. What an awesome way to fire the imagination! You could go anywhere, do anything. Be a superhero with your very own transportation!

I only have one complaint about this toy: I wish it came smaller. One of my children has had a fixation with horses since she was 2, and in fact could perfectly mimic a horse’s whinny at that age. She asked for the movie Black Beauty daily by making that noise. Unfortunately for her, I am short and so are my kiddos: by the time she was tall enough to effectively control a 36 inch tall stick pony, she was past the age where it would be fun for her. I’d really like to see a version suitable for the 3 foot tall crowd.

Recommended for ages 6 and up. Also for those in second childhood.
