Using this rocking horse is easy. Just help your child sit on the saddle and let them start rocking gently. Make sure the horse is placed on a flat and stable surface to avoid tipping over. When your child is using it, always keep an eye on them to ensure safety. For maintenance, you can use a soft cloth to wipe the plush body regularly. If there are stains, use a mild detergent and water to clean it gently. Don't expose the rocking horse to direct sunlight for a long time as it may fade the plush color. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent damage.
