Kruidvat Stick Horse

After sharing the home made sock horse on a stick I don't know how long I kept it, but it was unsellable, starting to fall apart and of no use for me anymore. So some day I guess it went back to trash ot maybe giveaway shop. Not sure anymore.

I took this factory made toy home maybe 2018 or before to sell on the markets, but in 2019 my friend had a hernia, then covid came and we never went back to doing them again.

I know it was from the Kruidvat drugstore chain because once during a stocktake there I saw one. But the ad tells me it was a special one time offer from late 2013! Can't believe how long some shops keep old stock sometimes. And the battery was even down. Mine was still working. Making a gallopping and neighing sound when you squeeze the ear.

Took it to the thrift shop last week and saw a young dad walking out with it today. I was sitting outside for a break and asked was he aware of the sound. Reply: yes, even a bit worried about that. Because it could be annoying if the kid keeps on repeating. But even with the electronic extra I think this is a nice old-fashioned toy.

Profit for our good causes €2.
