Summary
A pull-along wooden toy horse and rider on a base of four wheels, probably homemade. A metal ring at the front of the base has a brown string attached for pulling. The horse's head and tail and the rider move as the toy is pulled. The horse is painted green with a blue tail and a blue and red cap. The rider's clothes are painted red and blue, and red string reins are attach from the riders hands to rings either side of the horse's mouth. The paint is worn in places, particularly the wheels where substantial paint is worn off the surfaces in contact with the floor.
