Abstract
A riding toy made up of a hollow simulated horse body having a generally inverted U-shaped axle suspension member supported at its rear end with wheels on the legs of the inverted U-shaped suspension member and a front wheel with handle bar attached to the horse's head. When a rider bounces up and down on the horse, the action of the suspension member gives the impression of a galloping horse.
