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 is very well worth the money for children who love horses. You should have seen the look on the little girl's face when she opened this! The wood box acts as a great holder for the horses as well. Info on each breed is given on the back of the box too. Horses are plastic with a felt covering, but sturdy enough to stand upright on carpet without falling down. Those looking for high quality display items for adults (i.e. porcelein or ceremaic) should look elsewhere. These are toys, but would still display well in a child's room on a decorative shelf.

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.

I didn't buy these horses at Toys R Us; I bought them in Florida a couple of years ago, even though I live in Washington. I love them all. They all have names and their own stalls. I can remember their names just by remembering their stalls. On the top left corner is Superman, then Rain, Golden Gate, Rock River...
And, I set up their stable on some fake grass I made, and they a pasture and to top it off, they have owners! Each of my Snubbies have their own horse, and they fit on them perfectly without falling off. Thank you!

My 2 year old girl is enjoying it very much. Lots of small things to keep track of, but it seems children of this age like that sort of thing. The horses are good quality, the box is real wood, the backgrounds are printed cardboard but still nice. Good pick for the price.

These toys are great. They're soft and light. They're pretty sturdy, too. I've had mine for about a year now and one broke it's leg just a couple of days ago. These things don't shed; their hair staying in place. They're easy to stand up and fun to play with. Hop this review was helpful to you!

This horse breed set is very fun to play with it is very fun to play with it shows all the popular horse breeds in the box set and they are so pretty in that box set the are so fun to play with and you don't have to worry about breaking them because they are flocked and very unbeadable.
