FAQs
Is the Mini Smokey suitable for all ages?
It is designed primarily for hobby horsing enthusiasts, with its size making it most appropriate for children or smaller riders.
Can I use standard horse tack on the Mini Smokey?
No, it is specifically designed for use with LeMieux Toy Pony accessories to ensure a proper fit.
Does it come with a bridle?
No, accessories are sold separately, allowing you to customize your horse to your preference.
How do I store the pole?
The pole is detachable, allowing it to be stored alongside the head in a standard toy bin or drawer.
What is the difference between the 44cm and 39cm pole?
The 44cm pole provides a slightly longer reach, while the 39cm 'Lite' pole is designed for maximum agility and smaller users.
Is the head soft or hard?
The head is designed to have a realistic, plush feel while maintaining the structural integrity required for hobby horsing activities.
Troubleshooting
Head feels loose on the pole
Ensure the connection point is free of debris and that the pole is pushed firmly into the socket until seated correctly.
Accessories sliding off
Check that the buckles on the LeMieux Toy Pony tack are adjusted to their tightest setting to accommodate the smaller proportions of the Mini head.
Pole difficult to remove
Gently twist the pole while pulling outward. Avoid using excessive force which could damage the internal friction fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the Mini Smokey, ensure the pole is securely inserted into the designated cavity on the underside of the head until it clicks or sits flush. Always check this connection before use to prevent accidental detachment. The horse is fully compatible with LeMieux Toy Pony accessories; simply slide the bridle over the ears and secure the straps. To care for your Mini Smokey, spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge the head in water, as this may damage the internal structure or material. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the pole is detached if space is limited to prevent bending or warping of the attachment point.
