Summary: Great toy when you finally figure it out.
Comment: My daughter Ava got this for Christmas, I read all the bad reviews but she loves Dora and horses so I knew it would be a perfect gift. If you press Dora into the saddle really snug and lift her dress up a little she stays on pegasus and does not fall over. The toy does only work on hard surfaces but really you can tell that it would not walk on carpet by looking at it. Overall I think this is a great toy and brings great imagination into my daughter's playtime. Please ignore all the negative reviews and purchase this toy for your little Dora fan.

Summary: Need to press Dora down extra hard not to fall
Comment: I was very disappointed with this product at first as my daughter wailed every time Dora fell off with "Mommy, it's not working". I came on here to write a bad review when I read the other comment about pressing Dora down hard to get the toy to work correctly. I tried this and it does work now. I feel like I'm about to break the toy, I'm pressing down so hard, but Dora does at least stay on now without falling after the 3rd step.
I think it's still poorly designed to have to press down with that much pressure to get a toy to work, but my 2 year old is pleased, so that works for me. It will only walk a few steps on carpet, but works fine on hard surfaces.

Summary: Very nice toy, IF you KNOW the limitations!
Comment: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. I was worried about getting it for her because of the bad reviews on this site. But my daughter is 3, and this was the one gift she REALLY wanted. All she would talk about is asking Santa for "Dora Horsy" She fell in love with it. She carries it around with her. Has it fly, walk, holds it, she is facinated by it and because of this, I would rate it 4 stars for how much she loves it.
The horse seems VERY WELL made. Very STurdy, I was surprised how much it weighs. Not too much for a kid to handle. But when you hold it, you are not worried it will fall apart, and not scared to hold it. The Dora is very nice too. It makes my daughter happy which is worth 5 stars!
Now, be aware. The horse does not walk on carpet, will fall over. Will only walk on hard flat floors. The directions even clearly advises you of this. It would be nice if they would have designed the mechanism better to talk on carpet better since not everyone has hard wood floors! And the horse will fall over often if Dora is on it. You need to make sure Dora is sitting straight up, not leaning to a side or to the front or back. Directions even give you this suggestion. With this, Dora will ride the horse nicely.
Mattel/Fisher price put a lot of through in designing and making this. One nice feature is if you leave the wings extended, After a minute of non use, the wings will retract back into the horse and power down to conserve battery.
Now, This horse will work well, walking wise with fresh batteries in it. But once the battery starts getting a little low, the legs will not move, you will just hear the mechanism running.
The horse even has a reset button to reset incase of a malfunction which we have not had to do yet.
So the horse is nice. If your child loves Dora, they may like this. Mileage will vary from kid to kid. But I wanted to let people know this is a nice toy, and it will work, as described in the manual, as long as you follow the suggestions.

Summary: It works...kinda
Comment: My mother got this toy for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas. The big selling point of this toy is the walking horse. Our horse can walk about 4-5 steps with Dora before falling over. Does not matter how we put Dora in the saddle, she wobbles lose from the walking motion and then it falls over. Without the Dora doll on its back the horse will walk between 5-10 steps and then it will fall over. It pretty much always falls over. The horse can "walk" on hard surfaces only, it can go about 1 step on low carpet, then it falls over. That being said, the toy tells story and has some fun sounds. The doll and horse are cute and my daughter likes the toy, we just don't playing with the "walking" feature. Because the walking feature really does not work, this toy is not a good value, I think there are similar toys that don't "walk" that cost less.
