Schleich Percheron Mare measures: 5.9" L x 2.3" W x 4.7" H
The friendly Percheron Mare trots up trustingly. She is always happy to have visitors, especially if they have a crunchy carrot in their pocket. She carefully accepts it with her soft, black muzzle. I wonder what her plans are for today? Because of her build, she finds long gallops rather strenuous, but she is very strong and is good at moving heavy loads. Maybe she can pull a carriage? In any case, she is always helpful and happy to join in on excursions. How can you use her help?
