Summer has an array of Schleich toys, but these are her first from the new horses and riders range - she has fallen in love with them. She can't stop playing with them, and takes her horses with her everywhere.

All the horses each come with a rider, a rubber saddle, bridle and reins, all of which are fitted to the horse - the saddles are colour co-ordinated with their rider.

The horses and the riders are life like (as you find with all Schleich figures), they are sturdy and really easy to play with. The detail and painting enhance the play experience; Schleich figures offer an educational play value, and they are lovely to collect too - they will last a lifetime.

The riders arms and legs bend and adjust, so you can stand them, or position them to sit on their horses perfectly.

We were sent 4 horses and riders to review:

• Sofia and Blossom - Sofia didn’t choose the andalusian mare Blossom. 

• Hannah and Cayenne - Hannah is a passionate Western rider.

• Lisa and Storm Figure - Lisa is a talented showjumper and has won more medals than anyone else in Lakeside.

• Sarah and Mystery - There’s nothing Sarah likes better than riding over open fields, wading through streams and galloping through the forest with mystery. 

Schleich Horse Club Horses and Riders are the perfect addition to our ever growing Schleich collection - We’ve already had a look on the Schleich website to see what other figures, accessories and playsets from the New Horses and Riders ranger Summer would love on her Christmas gift list.

You can buy these from most toy shops or online, including at Amazon.
