A big hit!
We got this toy for my daughter's 8th birthday. She takes horseback riding lessons and my older daughter jumps as well, so this present was by far the favorite. My girls already love to play horse jumping games and this horse is perfect for that. The jump itself is a bit of a hassle because you can move the poles around and they fall off easily, but other than that...

A little misleading with the name "Jumper"
My daughter loves horses and has the walking Tawny horse, so naturally, she wanted the JUMPING Tawny when she saw it. Since the walking Tawny was so impressive (walking by itself), we just assumed the jumping Tawny would be even better. However, it's really disappointing and a little misleading with the title, because this horse does NOT jump by itself. You have to...

A little misleading with the name "Jumper", August 25, 2007

This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
My daughter loves horses and has the walking Tawny horse, so naturally, she wanted the JUMPING Tawny when she saw it. Since the walking Tawny was so impressive (walking by itself), we just assumed the jumping Tawny would be even better. However, it's really disappointing and a little misleading with the title, because this horse does NOT jump by itself. You have to hold the back legs which causes the front legs to "jump", and then you have to manually lift the horse up over the jump. My daughter doesn't mind since this is another horse and part of the Barbie collection, but my husband and I were slightly annoyed that the toy isn't as impressive as you would think from the title JUMPER Tawny. It should be called "Hold My Legs Tawny."

Great addition to horse collection, January 28, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
My 6 year old pony-collecting daughter loves this horse and "jumps" her around the house with and without the barbie rider. The jump, stand and other accessories are cheap but the pony seems very durable. I read a negative review because it didn't jump on its own like the similar Tawny walking pony - but come on now, what do you expect? I love that it doesn't require on/off switch or frequent battery replacement, yet it is complex enough to teach a realistic jumping technique. Especially great if your horse-fan prefers hands-on play. Price varies a lot - Amazon had the best!

Daughters love it!, January 18, 2008

This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
Both my daughters loved this one. Should have bought 2 for the price. I didn't know that the horse made real horse sounds. Very nice.

My daughter loved it!, January 7, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
I was not very impressed by this toy. I bought the walking horse for my other daughter and worried that they would both want that one.
This horse "jumps" when you pull the legs back, so the horse is never really on the ground. You have to just imagine the horse jumping in the air. The doll has a hard time staying on, also and her boots fall off too easily.
That being said, my daughter loved this toy. She enjoyed making the horse look like it was jumping and she thought the one that walked by itself was boring because you didn't have to do anything. She also loved the ribbons and trophy the horse came with.
I gave this toy four stars based on my child's reaction and enjoyment of this product.

Not that impressed., January 13, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
After seeing the walking horse, I could not wait to see this one jump, I thought, on it's own which is not the case. When you pull the back legs the front legs pull back and the horse makes a noise. I thought it was a little deceiving, and was disappointed. The one positive remark is that the horse and Barbie are pretty.

Not as good as the one that walks, December 11, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
My daughter & friends LOVED the original Tawny. That finally gave out & I thought it would be fun to replace it with this one which looked a bit more updated...WRONG!!!! This does nothing unless the child does it, my 5 yr old looked at me and asked why it didn't walk or jump by itself.
Stick with the original one, lots more fun to play with.

Hi, I bought this for my 6-year old daughter a few weeks ago at Toy's R Us for $14.99. It was on clearance with extra off. You should check there first! Great price. Great toy.

This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
Bought this as a Christmas gift, it was over the top! All the kids loved this. They especially loved the bendable legs on Tawney (the horse) none of my nieces had that on their other toys.

Great value, November 26, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Mattel Barbie Jumper Tawny Horse with Barbie (Toy)
My 6 years old daughter simly adores this toy especially the horse! She has it for 2 months and hasn't lost her interest on it (yet)!! She runs around the house with the horse pretending they are jumping together and she really likes the sound that it makes. The doll is also very good quality because the hair after two months is still soft and like new.It's perfect for girls who love horses.
