The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail hand-painted with care and provide educationally valuable playtime. Holsteiners are very talented jumpers. Just a few days after birth the foals will jump joyfully and energetically over small obstacles. However jumping training only begins in earnest at the age of two to three. By the age of five to six the horses' muscles are sufficiently developed for them to carry a rider while jumping too.
