I received this as a gift and was wondering if the pony needs to be screwed into the base. I didn't receive screws or any pieces to attach pony to base and it seems as though it comes off easily when my child rides it. Thanks

I bought mine as a gift for my niece last month and it came fully assembled with no tags or instructions/box...it seems sturdy enough for her and she's 22 pounds...nothing was loose or needed anything tightened...I was very happy with the quality of the item.

the only assembly required is four screws to tighten on the rocking wood part at bottom of horse feet. my 2 year old loves this.

It's not bouncy like the old school wonder horse. I think it's stiff, because I am used to the type that they can really bounce on compared to this, which is more of a rocking type. My son still really loves it, but I was disappointed because I think he would have liked the old style better. I do like that the springs have a sleeve over them, as when I was a child I often pinched my fingers and arms on the springs of my wonder horse.

There is an option to screw it in. There are two screws for each side but you don't have to use them. We have ours mounted with just the tension and it works great for our 5 year old.

Yes, you have to put the head on the horse. It is super easy and takes not even 5 minutes. My grandsons love their horses. It was a great purchase from beginning to end.

Maybe your not assembling it correctly, or need to tighten the rods more. The pieces are even, but do connect properly on the one I purchased. I did notice the small topper seemed loose but then I unscrewed it from the base and when I turned it upside down to screw the opposite end the topper then fit more securely. I don't know why that worked because like you mentioned the three pieces seem to be equal in size.

I think the child would get more out of it at the age of 2 or so. Right now, our daughter is about 15 months and hasn't quite grasped how to place the horses on the ramp to klip-klop down. She LOVES dancing to the music and gives the horses hugs and kisses. It's also good for her at this age to just walk the horses to their stalls or the tower, etc. I think ages 2 and up would fully understand how to "work" the horses and the ramp.

Well I own the horse and it's a very high-quality Rockinghorse I like it a lot would very much recommend it I guess I haven't looked to see if the mane comes off I don't believe it does I think that it is attached. But don't let that discourage you from purchasing at it is a very nice Rockinghorse in my opinion

Absolutely not. The horses that are in this set are only 2-3 inches tall and much, much thinner than My Little Ponies. These horses are more realistic and proportionately sized. They fit in the stable slots exactly. Just fyi--the stable is not high quality and breaks very easily. Keep wood glue handy. I will say it is a favorite toy for my daughter though.

All you have to do is turn the base over. With the picture shown, it is set up for the rocker. Turn the base over and you have a stable base with a horse that will simply bounce up and down. There are no springs. It uses rubber bands for both setups.

No it did not come assembled. Bit it was not hard to assemble and my 18 month old granddaughter absolutely love this horse. She lives on it. Best gift!!!

The base is actually very thick, but the ponytails don't hook on very well because of the weight of them. So make sure to add smaller ponytails on the base (toward the top of it) so they stay on better, but make sure you don't make the base ponytails too big so the main cap piece underneath doesn't show after you have the ponytails clipped on. I used tiny clear hair ties since those stay in the hair really well and the ponytails can't make them slide out.

There is a loop under one of the shelves but the toy comes off easily. I attached some of my own toys tied to shoe laces while I was assembling it by looping the lace under the posts before I screwed them all the way in place.

Hi, We gave this to our 2 year old granddaughter and she really had a great time making the horses godown the ramp and move them around the castle. She does have a 4 yr. old sister to help with imaginaryplay. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn't snap in place either. My son pulls it out all the time to play with it. It hasn't broken yet and he's pretty rough with it.

It took my husband about 30 minutes to put screw it all together. I supposed it would take about the same to take it down. It would be up to you how many pieces you would leave together when you take it down if you want to store it that way. But you would have to leave the bottom posts in the ground and maybe put buckets over them to keep water out. He also said that the 4x4 posts that came with it to put it into the ground were smaller than the vinyl posts, so they fit loosely inside and it would shake in the wind. he put spacers in to make it a tight fit and screwed together so it would not rattle. But he is very happy with it so far. We leave it up all winter and live in PA. It took my husband about 30 minutes to put screw it all together.

You must have a defective one. It should be attached, probably glued. There isn't any hardware.
