Pathfinders Automata Running Horse

A part of North American tradition, running horses have been featured in western movies, fairy tales, constellations, and fancy drinks with umbrellas. We pay homage to the running horse with a cool automaton that beckons you to turn the handle and run like the wind!

You can colour it with magic markers, or even paint it up to resemble a zebra or unicorn. Easy to assemble in an hour or two, this kit uses a single linkage to make the movement. There is even a horse head shaped window to see how the crankshaft works.

As are all of our automata, this is easy to make and fun to play with. A great gift for horse owners and those who want to be a horse owner at a fraction of the cost. (This kit has been pre-fed and could run for years!)

Age Rating: 8+ While this kit can be made by youngsters starting around 8 years old (and younger), we like that it is both interesting and compelling for kids of all ages  right up to those in their 90s! We are all children at heart! A great kit for parents and kids to make together! Good for beginner model makers.
