[RC] Barbie rides again

[Laurie Durgin]

I always assumed Barbie and friends all rode  sideways. Sort of like vaulting before it was a new  horse sport.There were these plastic dolls that could sit and bend their legs. The girl had blonde hair and painted  turquiouse clothes, and two boys one blonde and the other  brunette with painted on formed plastic clothes of tan .They did have removable cowboy hats. Not fun to dress, but boy they could ride! At  least forward. And they had big horses, a palomino and a black and later two  models with  flowing manes and leg joints. Think I still have one, minus a tail. . .   Laurie Rascal and Honey "she wants to ride us?????" Scout the surprise dun halfarab, who  will be best of all even if he was a surprise baby.
