It's not even very realistic, let alone modest, so it's nice that modern dolls can sit better! It does make riding a horse difficult though! Sometimes they just modify the horse, which is weird looking. Several years ago Mattel made a horse riding Kelly, (Barbie's little sister),and the horse was normal except at the middle, where it was super thin so Kelly could straddle it! It looked crazy, but they hadn't yet developed the Kelly that could stretch her legs out to the sides.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947247063997873288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-18519919822535995632015-12-31T10:28:05.947-08:002015-12-31T10:28:05.947-08:00We only had clones. And I have to say- they could ...We only had clones. And I have to say- they could ride. All my dolls did (I rode to school, too. Nobody could see it, but I knew I did, and that was enough :D ). I read americans say, the german dolls are 'slutty', because they sit with these legs so wide spread. But really, I would have felt sad if they would not have been able to ride! My dolls rode on everything horse-related, even the wooden carved horse from my Mother's youth friend was in their stable and missed by and by three of its four legs. <br /><br />Perhaps Skipper should have sat in the 'Lady's saddle'? Better than never riding a horse! Poor Skipper :(Frau S. aus B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09633616602313569749noreply@blogger.com
