Why choose a Little Moo Hobby Horse ?

I thought today I would write a little bit about what you get when you purchase a Little Moo Designs Hobby Horse, what makes them unique, why they stand out in the stables?? So here goes -
 
Since 2010, Little Moo Designs has specialised in designing and creating unique hobby horses and children's designs. They are handmade with love and attention to detail. Hobby horses have been our top selling product since our business began and continue to be hugely popular as birthday, Christmas, Christening and other special occasion gifts.

Little Moo Hobby Horses are made from top quality designer fabrics, they are made with the vision that they will be cherished for years to come. With many designs to choose from, we can tailor a Little Moo Hobby Horse to match your child's bedroom, favourite colours and personality.

They stand approximately 1 metre tall and the head is sewn onto the fabric covered pole. 
The heads are triple stitched for children's safety and longevity of the product. You can choose eye colour, love heart eyes, wool or fabric manes and extras such as applique letters can be added. Little Moo hobby horses are made from our own pattern, handmade right here in Queensland Australia. Each hobby horse takes 4-5 hours from start to finish and is made with love and attention to detail.

You know when your at the airport, you have your luggage in hand, your handbag, keys, passport, travel documents, coffee, wallet......waiting in line, your suddenly called up to check in your baggage.....then BAM your digging around for paperwork and looking totally unorganised....Well this is me to a tee. :)
