Inflatable of the Day 4/23
12Today’s toy is the Horseplay German Heavy Warmblood Horse, a faithful rendition of an actual breed of horse, with added cuteness. This guy is life size, so quite big! He’s made with silky smooth matte brown vinyl, with details screen printed on. Except for his mane, which is its own chamber, his whole body inflates from a large air valve on the bottom of one of his hind feet, in the middle of the hoof. Personally, I find blow up horses more comfortable, and more fun, to ride than the real ones! This horse lends its likeness and name to the builder, Horseplay Toys, and was the first design they made available for public purchase. They were subsequently available in other colors, one of which I will feature tomorrow!

Too bad the eyes aren’t realistic.

Not the clearest example, but the pupils are horizontal like a goat.

@chienfou is hoarding all of the toilet paper… again.
@RiotDemon At least it doesn’t eat hay or poop!
@RiotDemon I’ll bet if you inflated a real horse its eyes would show white too.
@OldCatLady lol
@RiotDemon I’m glad they went for the cute look.
@OldCatLady @RiotDemon That gave me a chuckle!
How tall is he?
@tinamarie1974 About 7 feet! Not sure how tall that is in hands.
@PooltoyWolf I think it depends on the hands! Lol
Wow he is a big boy!
@PooltoyWolf @tinamarie1974 Measuring a horse:
Hand = 4", measured at the withers. (the highest point straight above front legs more or less).
