Toy horsey

For a list of all references to horses, see Horses.

A Toy horsey is an item made as a joke by Jagex, poking fun at the requests made by players to have horses. It was released on 1 April as part of the 2004 April Fools joke. It is only the second time in which horses exist in RuneScape, as unicorns are similar to horses.

Toy horseys are obtainable from Diango for 150 coins each, and come in four different colours: white, black, grey, and brown. Members can also buy toy horseys from Rasolo the merchant, near Baxtorian Falls. Members can also make one from a plank on any crafting table in their player-owned house. They need a Crafting level 10 or higher, and gain 15 experience points in doing so.

When playing with the horsey, an animation appears showing the character playing with it. Text appears above the player's head, which will be a horse related-phrase such as Come on Dobbin, we can win the race!; Hi-ho Silver, and away!; or ''Neaahhhyyy! Giddy-up horsey! ''After they were first released, this text used to show up in the public box, allowing people to spam by playing with their toy horsey but this was fixed with a later update.
