I've been having a blast playing with this rubber pony on a stick!
Everyone wants to play with it but its mine & I don't have to share!
I don't know what to call him, is it known as a hobby horse?
Or any other names? I like stick pony LOL. I am guessing at some point he had a sticker or something saying who made him. 50's-60's-70's?????
If anyone cares to date him for me, many thanks.

I like Stick Pony too! I've heard these called hobby horses, and also stick pony. I've also heard ponies on rockers or frames called hobby horse too.
Yours is adorable. I don't know the age, but I'd guess '50 or maybe '60s.
Hey, my vote is 'it's yours' call it what you choose! Takes someone special to love old things and just love stuff from the past.. the reason we are who and where we are! :)
Thanks for all the loves & comments.
