I used the Wish Book as my paper dolls. When I was a kid you could buy saddles, harness, and other horse equipment through the catalog, and showed it on the horse. Better than any paper dolls I could buy(if I would have had the money which we didn't). Barns, houses and all the people and clothes for them. I could cut the little tabs what more could I ask for.

I never thought about doing the dolls with horses and what went with them. My great granddaughter is crazy about horses.
