The 'Daddle Saddle' Makes Horsyback Rides More Fun

— August 17, 2010 — Life-Stages
What little equestrian or cowpoke wouldn't love to hop onto a grown-up's back for a horsyback ride in a 'Daddle Saddle'? Designed for use by kids between two and six, the plushie strap-on Daddle Saddle has a soft saddle horn and adjustable stirrups. Knee pads - for the horse - are also part of the package: that way, dad won't hurt his knees.

Some of the customer reviews of the Daddle Saddle indicate that it may have a slightly more risqué use for adults. It's nice to know that a child's toy can be used in such a range of play situations.
