Little Friends Cassandra il Cavallo e Cleo il Puledro

The foal's little legs are surprisingly sturdy for such a small toy, and my daughter loves tucking them both into bed together. Cassandra's mane is really soft and perfect for little hands to brush. We've already spent a whole afternoon playing "stable" with them.

My niece hasn't put these down since her birthday — she keeps making Cleo trot over to Cassandra for cuddles, which is honestly the sweetest thing to watch. The paint job on both horses is really well done too, no chipping after a few weeks of hard play.

The foal is tiny next to the mare, which makes the whole "just born" thing actually convincing on the shelf. My kid spends most of the time posing them nose to nose instead of galloping them around, which I didn't expect.
