Operating Instructions
The Qaba Ride on Horse is designed for intuitive and active play:
- Riding Forward: To make the horse move forward, the child should sit on the saddle and place their feet on the footrests. By gently moving their body up and down, the child can propel the horse forward. The internal mechanism translates the up-and-down motion into forward movement.
- Steering: The handlebars located on the horse's head allow the child to steer the toy left and right.
- Activating Sounds: Press the ear of the horse to activate realistic neighing sounds, enhancing the imaginative play experience.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Qaba Ride on Horse, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the plush surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse the toy in water. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a gentle fabric cleaner.
