Crafty Ponies England

Booth No C09

Crafty Ponies – love ponies, play and learn!

Crafty Ponies soft toy ponies are made from luxurious plush fur fabric and have a realistic miniature leatherette saddle and bridle that look and work just like a real saddle and bridle. They also have rugs, leg wraps, headcollars and lead ropes that look and work just like the ‘real thing’.

It is the attention to detail that makes Crafty Ponies so unique and special. Designed and produced by an international award winning product designer who also owns a busy riding school and Spanish horse stud, every product in the Crafty Ponies range is accurate and works just like the real thing.

The skills learned with Crafty Ponies are easily transferable, for example if children can put Crafty Ponies saddle and bridle together they can put a real saddle and bridle together and because Crafty Ponies manes and tails are made of cotton, children can learn how to plait.

In 2015 Crafty Ponies was the winner of the Creative Play awards for ‘Best role play toy for 8 - 12 year old children’. Creative role play is an important part of developing and improving children’s imagination and creativity. Playing with Crafty Ponies tack and equipment and learning how to plait also helps to develop and improve manual dexterity and skill.

THE STORY OF CRAFTY PONIES

1990 - Karen made Crafty Ponies for four of her six children when they were very small, she wanted them to play with realistic toy ponies and equipment so that they could get used to what real tack looks like and how it works whilst playing and having fun

1993 - The children got their first riding ponies, because of the realistic role play with their Crafty Ponies Karen’s children already knew how to put on a head collar, lead rope, tie up, tack up, run up the stirrups etc. etc. (Karen was very happy about this!)

2003 - Karen and her husband Darren built Hebden Bridge Equestrian Centre, Karen taught hundreds of children and adults how to ride and care for horses for twelve years.

2009 - Karen designed and made ‘Crafty Ponies craft kits’ so that other Mums and Grannys could make a pony and tack set for their children like she had. Crafty Ponies craft kits are sold all over the world through the website and Amazon.

2010 to 2014 - Crafty Ponies craft kits received awards for craft and educational products, Karen and Darren took the ponies to horse shows, the children loved them but some parents did not have the time or inclination to sew them and kept asking Karen to make the ponies as finished products that they could buy.

2014 to 2016 - Karen and Darren went to China and found a small factory who now make the Crafty Ponies soft toy products

2015 - Crafty Ponies soft toys win ‘Creative Play of the year’ award for ‘Best role play toy for children aged 7 – 12years’.

2016 - Karen designed and produced the instructional booklets that now accompany every Crafty Ponies soft toy product. Karen has now started producing accessories for Crafty Ponies in the UK.

Crafty Ponies soft toys are now sold through shops, horse shows and the internet
