VIAHART18 Inch Large Black Stallion Horse Stuffed Animal Plush Pony | Ignacio the Black Stallion

Saw the brown version of this exact plush horse in a mall for $40. I immediately researched it and found it here on Amazon for only $15! (I was happy to find it in black because I wanted it as a memorial to my black Friesian horse that I had to put down after nearly 20 years of a wonderful relationship.)This plush animal is great! But here are some "cons" if I had to nit-pick: It could use a little more mane and tail which is a little skimpy as you can see from the photo.The eyes are nice and brown but lack expression. The muzzle is disproportionately large compared to the jaw.But we are talking about a plush animal after all - it is still worth Five Stars!Now for the pros! Pros:It is a beautiful animal with overall excellent proportions!Great Price at $15 and free shipping! Yay!It has strong wires and poseable legs! You can pose it to lay down with the legs curled underneath or you can have it trotting, cantering, etc. Wires are thick and sturdy! The item is well made and stuffed just right to hold it's shape. Firm, but not hard - certainly not floppy or squishy. Feels like quality fibers, not styrofoam or cheap stuffing. Body gives with some pressure and bouces right back into shape.The seams are sewn extremely well and the body curves are pretty accurate, such as the shape of the mass of the hind legs, shoulder, rump, etc. See detailed photos. I must confess, since this was purchased in memory of my Friesian, I added some "improvements" to the model. I added more mane and tail, very full like my horse had, and I made customized felt eye lids to give the eyes more expression. You can see the results in one of the photos. However, it is still a beautiful plush horse and is fantastic "as is", without my additions.Regardless of my own doings on it, this plush horse is well made overall with lots of built-in charm!

Good quality.

Beautiful horse!!! Very well made and soft and cuddly. Love how you can bend the legs for any position Stands up very well. Can’t wait to give it to my Great Grandbaby

Very nice horse with bendable legs. It is poseable and has a nice mane and tail. Very nice over all.

I gave as a gift to my grandson. He loves it. He has made a bridle and saddle for it. Thank you so much. It keeps him entertained.
