I just made some hobby horses for Christmas for the Grands ad we got them corralled here! I still have the reigns to get on but I wanted to get the picture up. Thanks for looking.

Those are so cute! Did you use a pattern or is this your own design? Would love to make one for little my great-nephew. I've already got dibs on his first cowboy boots. His first horse would be pretty cool to!

Those are adorable. Us crafters can just about make anything.

Those are so cute.

Cute!!

Matilda 10-19-2011 12:51 PM

Thanks everyone!

I made it from a pattern. It is McCall's Crafts pattern # 9669. I don't know if it is still around. I borrowed this from a friend.

They were fun to make and easier than what I thought they would be.

These are fantastic!!! A lot of kids today are so bombarded with electronic things...but something retro like this is so much better...gives them a chance for some exercise...just be prepared for some noise...lol...and lots of laughter and enjoyment...I taught 1st gr. almost 40 yrs ago...I made some of these to use on the rainy days when they couldn't go outside to play...they loved them, but the teacher in the class downstairs below us wasn't real happy...lol...Naomi

Those are adorable!

Adorable! Wish I could see the corral at Christmas!

Matilda 10-19-2011 12:54 PM

I have noticed that kids really do like this old toys and games and things when given the chance to play them. Innocents is so much better!

When they have rodeo competitions for kids here, even the little ones get to participate. They use stick ponies out in the ring and try to do what their older sibs. are doing. It's so cute to watch! Your Grands are going to love these.

suebee 10-19-2011 05:13 PM

now those are adorable!! You are very talented.
