 Mustangs are small, tough horses. They hold their heads high and proud. This may be because they roam the wild without any humans to feed or tend them. After the Mustangs, noble Arab and Berber horses came to America. They bred with the Mustangs, and so nowadays you can still spot their elegant body shapes among many wild horses. It is often said that Mustangs are rather stubborn. This is because they live in freedom and are completely independent of humans. They also give birth to their foals without any assistance. The foals are normally born at night. This is less dangerous because their predators – especially pumas – tend to hunt at twilight, when it is lighter.

Fun fact: Mustangs come in all coat colourings, but they are most frequently roan or dun.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
