ideas for what to get the horse-obsessed 4YO girl? (m)

[fauve01]

DD is obsessed! we already have several my little ponies and the toob of ponies (small, plastic) you can get at Michael's. she also has a couple of the bigger plastic Breyer horses, and a stable, and 3 small soft stuffed horses.

I'm looking for additional ideas for Christmas--horse games, coloring books, crafts, puzzles, books.

are any of the horse movies appropriate for 4YO?

she is a big Disney princess fan too, so if there is anything that combines a princess and horse, that would probably put her right into a swoon.

THANKS in advance for ANY ideas, tips or suggestions!

p.s. we have seen the giant $300 Butterscotch pony, but i think that is too rich for santa's blood.

What about some clothes with horses on them. I see them in the CWD catalogue all the time...also, what about sheets or a comforter with a horse theme too (maybe try PBK or Company Kids).

I was horse obsessed too and had a horse for several years growing up. Such fond amazing memories... practically living at my stables! LOL

Disney does have some new horses out for their princesses - the gem princess horse. We have the cinderella one. I know they have sleeping beauty and belle too. We bought ours at Target.

The American Girl GOTY, Nicki, has a horse. What about Nicki and the Horse?? I haven't seen them IRL, though. And, IIRC, the age for the larger AGs is 8. I think my 3.5 yo would probably be fine with that toy, though.

DD is getting the horse and doll for christmas. It's bigger than I expected and very cute. Even better, the day after it arrived DD said she wanted a stuffed pony...

[SheriRae]

Love this thread because I too have a horse obsessed little girl.

Have you seen "The Only Hearts Club" they have the cutest stable, dolls and horses. It sells at Target.

I've seen some nice Music Boxes with horses on them, and instead of a ballerina that spins, its a horse. :)

Looks a lot like this one:

Forgot to mention a movie my daughter really enjoyed was "Spirit." Keep in mind this is not a "princess" type movie, but is a great story. My dd LOVED it.

This link will give you some idea what the movie is about.
