Product Description:
Butterscotch Pony is a life-sized plush pony that loves to be groomed and cared for. She has many features similar to that of a real pony, including moving eyes, ears and head, soft fur coat and a swishing tail. Through sensors, Butterscotch can feel when she is being groomed and will move her head toward you, and may whinny and snort. The more you touch her, the happier she becomes. Just like a real pony, Butterscotch loves carrots and can be "fed." Hold the pretend carrot to her face, and she will open her mouth for it, or shake her head "no" if she has had enough. Kids can even sit on Butterscotch and she will make walking sounds. Measures 39" tall. Requires 6 "D" batteries (not included). Adult assembly required. Holds up to 80 pounds.

Just Like a Real Pony
With Butterscotch, your girl will feel like she is interacting with a living, breathing pony. Butterscotch is soft to the touch, with a fur coat and mane that feel just like a real pony. Her markings and color are modeled after a Shetland pony. Butterscotch also has built-in sensors all over her body, which enable her to respond to children in amazingly lifelike ways. If talked to, she will cock her head toward the speaker quizzically and blink her eyes.

She will also react to petting, showing her enjoyment by rubbing her head against your child, twitching her ears, and swishing her tail. In addition to her convincing movements, Butterscotch also makes a medley of different sounds. She'll neigh and whinny just like a real pony, and snort when she wants attention. Should the room become dark, she will begin to whimper, letting her owner know that she needs a consoling hug to know that she is safe.

Saddle Up!
At over three feet tall, Butterscotch is more than strong enough to support a rider up to 80 pounds in weight. Your little girl will be overjoyed to sit on Butterscotch's back and pretend to go for a ride. Although she doesn't move her legs, Butterscotch will bump up and down when her hindquarters are tapped, simulating the feeling of a real pony ride. She will also make clomping sounds with her hooves while riding. Your child's imagination will soar as she pictures herself out on the plains with Butterscotch.

Caring for Butterscotch
Much like a real pony, Butterscotch loves to be groomed and fed. Children will keep very busy taking care of her. When given her special carrot, Butterscotch will chomp and munch on it. She also enjoys having her mane groomed with her brush. Along with her brush and carrot, Butterscotch comes with a special adoption certificate, which will give your little girl a real sense that Butterscotch belongs exclusively to her.

I love her
I got this toy on craigslist real cheap 100$.I am only 8 years old and I went with my mom to get butterscotch.I wanted butterscotch affter I got my mom's frend smors pony 4 her b-day.realy grate toy,I have real ponys 2 but butterscotch i can take inside the house.I put Butterscotch out in my horses pen, and they reacted really funny!


Cute!
I bought this for my daughter at the last minute because it was marked down to [...]. It's pretty life like but it's pretty hard to get it to fake gallop. It's only done it a couple of times. It also has trouble recognizing the direction it's being called. Overall it's very cute. I'll admit that it hasn't gotten much play time, though. It's just one of those things that's purchased for the shock value on Christmas and played with a few times after and that's about it.


My 3 year old loves this thing!
This pony is more life-like than I'd imagined and I find myself petting it, as I walk by! LOL My kids love it! So cute! If you can find Butterscotch on sale, I say,"DO IT!"


A little girl's dream come true
Butterscotch had been at the top of our daughter's Christmas list for three years running. This year Santa was finally able to find room on his sleigh, and come Christmas morning no other toy mattered at our house.

We had some concern that this might be a little "young" for an 8 year old, but decided to take the chance when Amazon had it on special. We're so glad we did! Butterscotch has been played with daily for two months now with no sign that she's getting boring.

Notes:
The box has a big ol' picture of Butterscotch on the outside, so if this is a surprise, be sure to take delivery when the little ones aren't around. Have a large spot ready to hide the box - it's HUGE.
PLEASE assemble the horse prior to giving it to a child. The head is not attached in the box, and it's honestly sort of freaky. It creeped me out to open the main box and find a giant headless pony inside, and then again when I opened the smaller box inside which just held a pony head. Yikes!
Have a good screwdriver and some D cell batteries on hand before assembly. An extra pair of hands is helpful too; one person can assemble, but with two it's much easier.
This toy is really big, I can't emphasize that enough. Our 8 year old is nearly 5 feet tall and she can sit on it comfortably. You can't just tuck this in a closet; it really needs a good amount of storage space considering it's just one toy.

All in all, Butterscotch is an amazing toy. I don't even mind that she spends a lot of time in the living room, because she's frankly just as interesting to the adults as she is to the kid.


Very Nice
We purchased this gift for our daughter for Christmas. She absolutely LOVES it. It is amazing how realistic the horses actions are. It does make some noise when it moves, but nothing terrible. Very nice product.
