About
Very cute little horsie, great gift for a child!
I made this hobby horse as a christmas present for my little niece. My design is pretty girly- you can of course make this a boy-suitable toy by going brown and jeans with the fabric, make it nice and cowboy! Also, gimme a shout if you need templates.
I look forward to seeing your versions!

Step 8
Now, take out your sewing machine (or curse yourself that you don't have one and do this by hand ;)).
HEAD:
Sew all around the head, leaving open only the neck part.EARS:
Now take one piece of each size and fabric (one white and one pink piece) and sew them together, leaving open the bottom part. -
Step 11
Now, to make this toy safe, I decided to give the top of the stick some extra stuffing. We'll make a little pouch full off cotton wool and tie it to the top of the stick.
Take some fabric (any fabric, doesn't have to match the other one as it will be inside the horse and not visible) and draw a circle on it. I used a plate as a template.

Step 38
Now, to conceal this some more we'll make a ribbon from the secondary (pink) fabric. You could safe yourself the trouble by simply buying some matching ribbon, which only occured to me after I was done.
Cut out a long piece of the fabric (about 1m by 4 cm)
For the boy horses, you'll probably want to leave this step out. .
