Really nice, do the children play on it? I like the real stirrups, very practical.

Hi Nordsee, yes both of my grangkids play on it especially my grandson, he goes mad on it. The stirrups are real ones for safety reasons
the bridle and saddle are scratch made, I got the strap,buckles and rivets from my local cobbler.
