That would have been my first choice, hooves down, except they were only pink or lavender. So I settled for this big paint with a circus saddle. He's really huggy. I also got a couple of small sized ones to give away, and just couldn't leave behind the dark bay in the middle foreground. The others, including the small paint pegasus sitting on the saddle and the Clydesdale on the right, have been around for a while, but none were large enough to really cuddle.
