“Originated from a need: Animal Riding”
Our story
Animal-Riding originated in 2008 in the Netherlands with a family with a passion for business and horses. The oldest daughter of the family already rode real ponies and the youngest wanted to as well… but was still too small. At the time, the parents couldn’t find anything for the youngest other than a little plush horse that you could sit on but couldn’t move. Because they could imagine that many more parents were facing this problem, the following idea was born: A toy horse on which you could actually move a real horse!
The development
And so was born the company in which parents Jef van de Wardt and Désirée van Hoeve embarked on a long, intensive road of development. In Asia, they found a system that partially met their expectations. However, this was not optimally working, not yet a nice design and was amateurishly produced on a small scale. Jef in particular, who had previously led a technical production department at a leading company for 20 years, knew almost immediately how things could be done better. The years that followed were spent developing a beautiful high-quality product. Meanwhile, the assortment has been expanded with many other animals and every year many containers with animals come to the Netherlands to be distributed to many customers throughout Europe.
Animal Riding of the moment
Animal-Riding is a regular feature at the annual International Toyfair in Nuremberg, has won several awards and still puts a smile on the face of everyone who first encounters the product! Animal-Riding has already made countless children happy with one of the animals from the range!
