Dangerous! Questional Parental Judgement.

This horse is so cute! He seems like the most perfect giant, hairy pet, but this picture just made my heart sink. Dear unthinking parents, please know that your young child, toddler, or baby does not have fully developed motor skills. I worry most for the baby on the back. He is probably just learning to walk by pulling himself up onto furniture and then falling down after a few triumphantly clumsy steps. If that horse moves he IS falling off. He may take one or both of his cute blondy sisters with him. That horse's hoof if bigger than that child's head. Let's not play "versus".
