I ordered these for my 5 year old daughter to accompany the foldable/portable stable. Shame on me - in the Chrismas rush I ordered them without reading the reviews and had expected a much higher quality product for the price. As the most helpful negative review accurately points out these have a fuzzy coating that I would fully expect to flake off with just a bit of active play. I can best describe the appearance as very cheap and it reminds me of a token carnival toy. Luckily I have enough time to return these and order better quality products from Breyer or Schleich. Do not order these unless all you want to do is sit them on a shelf.
