great toy but BEWARE!!!
!!!!!BEWARE!!!!! THIS PRODUCT IS DELIVERED IN A BOX *COVERED* WITH PICTURES OF THE PONY!!!! IF YOUR CHILD SEES THIS BOX (as mine did as we returned from picking her up at day care!) THEY WILL KNOW *IMMEDIATELY* WHAT IS INSIDE!!!
On a brighter note, we were thrilled to get the pony at such a great price and with such speedy shipping. However, the joy of my daughter discovering this Christmas morning was RUINED because of the delivery. That sort of caused me to lose all enthusiasm over it. Sorry...
Holds its play value
My daughter got this for Christmas two years ago, when she was six. I wasn't sure how long it would keep her attention - but now, two years later - she still likes it.
When she first got it, she adored it. The movement is terrific, the expressions and movements are cute and funny. Its great to have a toy that big that she can climb all over.
Now, two years later, she still hops on the horse occasionally. She uses it as a frame for her forts, makes the dog ride it, brushes its hair. I'm amazed its appeal has lasted this long. It is in pretty good shape, too. The rubber in the mouth ripped, but the fur is still nice, legs and head sturdy and attached. We have not had trouble with going through batteries too fast (quite an expense on this large an item).
This product has stood the test of time. I recommend it.
Lil girls dream
Got "Butterscotch for my daughter, age 3, at Christmas. She still plays with it and talks with it daily. Just replaced 1st set of batteries this month but she is turned off each night cause she "needs her west". Love the way she neighs when the lights come on or child makes a noise in her room. Teenage daughter thinks its kinda creepy the way it looks and blinks at you..."too life-like". Bought the accessory pack in June so now Butterscotch has her own socks and blanket. The horse is VERY big but not really heavy (So she can join us in the living room then be carried back to the bedroom).

Winner of the 2007 T.O.T.Y. Award for Best Girls Toy of the Year, the Hasbro FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony seeks to fulfill every little girl's dream of having her very own pony. Butterscotch is a miniature Shetland pony, and will react to your child's loving care in incredibly realistic ways. More than three feet tall, she will even allow kids to sit on her for a pretend ride. Recommended for ages 4 through 10, Butterscotch Pony will quickly become any little girl's most precious companion.
 The Shetland Pony stands over three feet tall and acts just like a real horse. View larger. View Front. |
 Much like a real pony, Butterscotch loves to be groomed and fed. View included items. |
With Butterscotch, your girl will feel like she is interacting with a living, breathing pony. Butterscotch is soft to the touch, with a fur coat and mane that feel just like a real pony. Her markings and color are modeled after a Shetland pony. Butterscotch also has built-in sensors all over her body, which enable her to respond to children in amazingly lifelike ways. If talked to, she will cock her head toward the speaker quizzically and blink her eyes.
She will also react to petting, showing her enjoyment by rubbing her head against your child, twitching her ears, and swishing her tail. In addition to her convincing movements, Butterscotch also makes a medley of different sounds. She'll neigh and whinny just like a real pony, and snort when she wants attention. Should the room become dark, she will begin to whimper, letting her owner know that she needs a consoling hug to know that she is safe.
Saddle Up!
At over three feet tall, Butterscotch is more than strong enough to support a rider up to 80 pounds in weight. Your little girl will be overjoyed to sit on Butterscotch's back and pretend to go for a ride. Although she doesn't move her legs, Butterscotch will bump up and down when her hindquarters are tapped, simulating the feeling of a real pony ride. She will also make clomping sounds with her hooves while riding. Your child's imagination will soar as she pictures herself out on the plains with Butterscotch.
