To play with this Barbie doll, you can start by dressing her up in the removable riding clothes. Move her elbows, wrists, and knees to make her pose realistically for horseback riding. Since the doll can't stand alone, you might want to use your hands or a stand to keep her in place. When it comes to maintenance, keep her away from sharp objects to avoid tearing her clothes. If the clothes get dirty, you can gently hand - wash them. Remember that the colors and decorations on the doll may vary from the one shown, so enjoy the unique features of your own Barbie. This doll is suitable for kids aged 3 and up, so make sure younger kids are supervised during play.
