HORSES ON WHEELS

A favourite toy of children who could already walk was a pull-along horse on wheels . By pulling it with a string, the horse would tamely follow the child. It did not take very long before these pull-along horses on wheels became large enough to bear the weight of a child and in a short time these toys started to be made for riding.

Many horses have a hole through their nostrils or a wooden stick to fasten the bridle.
