Running Highland Cow Plush, Gallops Without Batteries

Bounce him gently by the scruff and all four legs swing into a gallop. He keeps going as long as you keep the rhythm, and everyone in the room stops to watch. There is no motor and no battery in him, just four linked legs and a knack you pick up in about a minute.

He comes in two heights: 17.7 inches and 23.6 inches. The smaller one sits on a desk and gets picked up twenty times a day. The larger one is an armful, the one that gets carried around the house and taken to bed.

The outside is long-pile plush brushed the way real Highland cattle hang, with a shaggy fringe over the eyes, small horns and a stitched muzzle. This one has a white coat with dark brown horn patches, muzzle and hooves. The filling is PP cotton, packed evenly, so he holds his shape after a hundred bounces.

He ships vacuum packed and flat. Open the bag, pat him all over, give him an hour in the air, and he takes his full size back. The maker rates him 3 years and up.
