Purchased these 3 horses some years ago and have only ever kept them on display. They are a plastic base covered with real strips of animal hide. I am unsure of the animal used. Very lightweight. Bead eyes. They have been kept on display in a clean and smoke free home and have NO ODOR that can sometimes be associated with real animal pelts or skins. ✅ Thoroughly checked for flaws 🚭 Kept clean and odor free in smoke free home 📩 Make me an offer!
