Horsey prevails at last!

After a year plus of giving "Horsey" a wide birth (nearer proximity caused ready tears), the girls have finally succumbed to the equine attraction.

And yes, it's true, Horsey has no hind legs. He is in fact a deluxe wear-on-your-knee horsey ride toy sent all the way from New Zealand by my Pops for the girls.

He also used to make this great horsey ride sound effect when you pressed his ear, but I think some wire got disconnected inside. Bonus points for any visitors who can identify a sound effect solution...
