The horse is nice however it came in a crushed up box and the base was somewhat defective.  It is too late to send it back as it is a Christmas gift so I will have my husband sand the base down and make it look pretty again.  I am sure my granddaughter will love it just the same.  I cannot compare it to others as I do not own another.  As far as price is concerned I think it is pricey and probably should be around the $60 range.
