Giddyup N’ Go Pony

Giddyup N’ Go Pony, This ride-on pony is a toddler’s perfect first horseback ride. As kids bounce up and down, the wheeled pony’s legs start rolling, so kids can really go for a ride! Horse also comes with safety brakes, which are activated when the seat is held down continuously. Riders can simply press down on the left ear to hear life-like galloping sounds; or press on the right ear for whinnying and snorting sounds. The pony’s tail even swings side to side as your child rides along. Handlebars located on the pony’s head make steering easy, and a tight four-foot steering radius provides a controlled ride. Pony is perfect for active play both indoors and out. Requires three “AA” batteries, included. 32″L x 13″W x 32″H. Holds up to 150 lbs.

Customer Reviews

My 6 yr old got this for her birthday, and this Giddyup N’ Go Pony has been flying around the house every since. We also have Smores, which if fun, but not half as engaging and fun as this pony is. The horse actually moves! You ride it! Much better than just sitting on a horse that makes noise and moves it’s head only. My 8 and 10 yr old are within weight limits, so they ride it as well. This thing moves fast on tile, and we have not had any tipping over issues. It is hard to completely turn around if you get in a corner – an adult or bigger child is needed to basically pick it up and turn it around. We love it, and it was worth every penny (no where near the non-Amazon prices here lately, yikes – you can get closer to $100).

My 5 year-old daughter has cerebral palsy, and her therapists want her to straddle sit for at least a half hour every day to help stretch her spastic leg muscles. She usually despises that half hour, but since getting this horse, she hasn’t wanted to get off. She can’t do the bounce move thing yet, but she loves just to sit on it and watch TV.
We haven’t really had it long enough to assess long term durability, but Giddyup N’ Go Pony is solidly made and has taken quite a few of the kinds of hits only 5 year-olds seem capable of doling out. It can be assembled without tools, except like most children’s toys requiring a philip’s screwdriver to open the battery case. I couldn’t tell what small parts they are worried about for kids under 3.
The only drawback I can think of is that it is rather tall and requires a certain degree of balance to stay on. For a 3 year-old I would probably make this an adult supervision only toy.
