She's crazy about horses and loves this set. She's creating whole scenes with the pastures and horses. Great set The Ty Beanie horses for sale was produced with the plan that proceeds would benefit the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, where Barbaro received the medical care after his devastating injuries in the 2006 Preakness Stakes.
The Beanie is outstanding quality and carries the hologram of the Kentucky Derby due to the silks on the doll matching the ones used in the 2006 race, which Barbaro won in a stunning display of dominance rarely seen at that level of racing.
Roy and Gretchen Jackson have only licensed horses for sale a few Barbaro items for sale - which was done when the champion was still hospitalized - with the caveat that proceeds from the sales be earmarked for the New Bolton Center.
The Ty Beanie is a quality product that will assist a facility dedicated to helping animals large & small. No matter how I read that "racing" form, it comes out a winner. my daughter is 7 and she adores this toy. it is very very durable and well built and has moving doors and sliding doors. comes with the horses, although they are bigger horses than the melissa and doug horse set. great toy! It is a pretty box. I question the durability. Maybe I should write you in a year and let you know. When I opened the package, the first thing i noticed is the metal latch was coming off of the box. It will need to be rehammered in somehow or hot-glued. The "latch hardware" is definitely a bit cheap. The painting on the other hand is nice and the corner drawers are appealing to my 7 year old daughter. There is not a ton of storage space, but there are multiple compartments which seems to appeal to young girls.
