The German Riding Pony mare from Schleich Horse Club has a beautiful chestnut coat. The braids in her mane are held in place by pretty ribbons. At tournaments, she's always a real eye-catcher. German Riding Ponies are very friendly animals, primarily bred for children's and youth equestrian sports. They look like small horses and are suitable for both dressage and show jumping. The Schleich figurines are realistically modeled and make for educationally valuable toys.
