Spirit, the well know free and wild, buckskin, stallion with the 'spirit that could not be broken', from the animated movie, is my 2yr old sister's singled most beloved animated character. She's been asking me about 'making Spirit' since I started knitting horses! I gave in to her demands, reasoning that he'd be a total chum knit up in my own original design… and I am proud to have been right! :o)
STOCK PHOTOS. The Spirit pony you will receive will be made to order (4-6 days) and may have subtle differences from the ones made.
Spirit stands about 7″ tall and measures around 8″ long. True to the traditional Buckskin markings, he sports a neat dun strip down his back. He is stuffed firm enough to stand on his own and even carry my cowboy doll rider, while still being soft and squishy enough cuddle at nap time! :o)
All his pieces are securely stitched on, making him a safe, fun, little friend for your child! Simple Waldorf inspired features make for more imaginative, creative, child play.

All natural: Spirit is knit out of 100% soft Peruvian Highland wool, and is stuffed with clean, fluffy wool from our very own flock of sheep! 🙂 (To see the wool stuffing process, check out the bottom picture: 1. First cuddle the soft sheepie to reassure em. 😉 2. Then shear the wool off their back. 3. Next, carefully wash the wool several times. 4 Card the wool into fluffy bats. 5. Stuff wool into knitted body to bring the life into the toy. 6. Finally: let the baby play and snuggle to his/her heart's content! 🙂
Wool is the perfect choice for toys, because it warms up against the body heat of the child's little hands and is slightly heavier, making the toy feel all the more life like. I've already noticed my little sister seems to really prefer these toys over previous polyester-filled ones that I've made her. Wool also repels dust and mites and is very healthy, clean and natural feeling; soft and warm.
Hand wash with care! Swish in warm soapy water, rinse gently and squeeze out the water. Lay flat to dry.
MADE TO ORDER. Please allow me 4-6 days to knit him up for you.
