More "walking" questions: Is there a particular placement that needs to be used to make the horse make the galloping noise?

Hi Amanda, Butterscotch doesn't move up & down to gallop, so it's not broken. Only the head moves when it's in "gallop" mode. In order to trigger the galloping sound, you have to hit Butterscotch on one of the rear haunches. Best, Angel

Since flipping the base will increase the height, it should be fine. The size of the horse should also work.

probably in the belly. The horse which i have bought a lot of them just always works when you squeeze the ears!

There is a male giraffe. I haven't seen it, but I have a few of the horses and they are all anatomically correct. You might want to check out the full Schleich catalog at http://www.schleich-s.com/en/US/

I have done this two ways, one with chain and one with a fiber strap. I like the strap the best because there is not added sound or click. I thought about using steel wire but the adjustment was to much work. The chair needs to be adjusted to the length of the leg so that your foot does not go to sleep.

Yes, it can. It doesn't take up much space. Does make some noise when the dog is going at it.

Did you put Barbie in front of the horse and hold down the mane on top of the horses head until he starts moving? That has worked for us every time. Otherwise do you need new batteries?

It is made to go in the slot, below the saddle. The 6 little bumps need to line up with the strings as much as possible. I hope that this helps

Put together with screws and no glue. Not sure what your second question means but the horse feels solid and has held together fine after being ridden, stood on, and moved around by a toddler.

I am sure you could if tied in place correctly, but I would not. The seat is designed to move with your body movement. Air chambers flow from one chamber to the next. Your horse also sinuses your position and moves accordingly. This might confuse the horse & may not hold you properly in position. Get a better padded saddle.

Yes, press the tip of the left ear to hear the horse talk, and press the right ear to play songs.

Yes one can. They do connect, but the legs are out straight in front, not by the horses side.

Not the same as a rocking horse in that it only moves forward. It also doesn't turn making one only able to go in one direction. Also to make it move the child has to push on it up and down. You can adjust how much effort it takes to make it move.

Shure, but you must put a sandbag on his feet. Can´t be used on windy contition. (only on studio setup)

Very little - just the rockers need to be attached, but it is hard to find where the batteries go to make the horse sing, etc. The batteries go under his belly - you really have to look for the patch that opens the chamber

I did not buy mine on line so it may very. When I had my horses I would stay on them for 6 to 8 hours. I have R.A. I could not feel the impack when my horse went to a gallop. You have to make sure that you have the right pad and cinch for horse and the saddle in the right area on the horse. The saddle does give a little for horse comfort but don't over cinch or pinch the nerve. Allow for breathing room. I have worked and study in and as Animal Control person. I do care for the animals well being. Happy Trails TO YOU!

Hi, I have the Butterscotch pony that I keep at my house as "something special" I wanted to have for the grandchildren to remember someday. It only gets used every now and then, when I get a visit. I haven't had any trouble with mine, probably from less frequent use but, from what you say you're experiencing, it sounds to me like there might be a loose connection somewhere that might get "disconnected" when the vibrations of the neighing start. Not from the actual neighing itself but Butterscotch does move her head when she starts neighing, right? Also, is it possible that the little compartment where you put the batteries maybe could use the contact bits puffed up a bit, if you know what I'm trying to say? Sometimes putting batteries in an item can cause the spots where the positive and negative spots on the batteries can cause them to be pressed against too hard and cause more of a loose fit than a snug one that keeps those negative and positive bits nice and tight. Sorry I can't be more help. If it's just the neighing that stops and Butterscotch still moves and follows your movements, I guess that's better than nothing. I know. It's an awful expensive toy and you'd hope it would work perfectly.
