Here is what my 6-year-old daughter says about this set:
“All the horses are flocked. The colors are beautiful. You can play lots of games with them. I like to play horse rescue games. All the compartments have pictures in the background.”
I’ll add that this set has absolutely enchanted her, to the point where she doesn’t play with her larger-sized horses any more. That may change, but this toy is a winner.

I purchased the pasture pals for my daughter thinking that they would be solid plastic toys because of the price. Upon receiving the toys I discovered that they are really hollow white plastic horses covered badly by a fuzzy cloth to resemble fir, and it falls off quite easily. I now have thrown many of them away as their manes fall off and their fur peals back to expose the white plastic beneath. I’ve only had the horses for a couple weeks. I’m very dissapointed.

I bought this last Christmas for my then 7 year old daughter. She loved it! The other children loved it. I had one mom ask me where I got such a unique item. As far as the reviewer who said that they got them for their 2 year old and the fur falls off, these aren’t meant for a 2 year old. My daughter has had hers now for a year and they are still beautiful. Cute display! Cute horses! Fun!

I bought this set for my 5-year-old daughter at FAO Schwartz a few months ago. It is beautifully displayed prominently in her bedroom and she plays with it often. I read another review on this site about the fur falling off, etc. and I would say that perhaps this is not the best toy for a younger child; it is suitable for a young elementary schooler or older (my 7 1/2 year-old loves them, too). One wonderful aspect besides the beauty of the horses and their variety and their included pastoral scenes in their holder is that there is a description of each horse on the back of the holder. Very educational – now my daughters know all the different horses and their “functions”/activities. This is actually one of my daughter’s BEST toys.

This horse “display” is not meant for (most) toddlers as they may put them in their mouths or be a bit rough. My 8 yr old granddaughter, who cherishes her horse-toys, loves this shadowbox display of horses and plays with them more “responsibly”. I find that it was a good value. The sellers also ship very quickly. It was very well packaged and the toy was in perfectly, new condition. I note they have a lot of quality items, not just senseless toys, on their list of toys. Happy shopping.
