Bought DD (3y4m) one of these for Christmas, this year. She loved it on sight, but having had it out of the box etc, I now see that it is a complete rip off. The 'skin' of the horse is lilac, the make up provided is lilac so that it disappears when you out it on the horse . Utterly pointless. Both DD and I have tried to brush the hair but the knots are so stubborn and the hair is such dodgy quality that it just comes out in the brush if you pull it even slightly. DD is so frustrated with the hair that she has thrown the head across the living room in a fit of pique. I don't blame her, it's a flippin rip off.
