ThIs is a fabulous set with so many features. It was my granddaughter's favorite gift this year. She is five and needed a little assistance, but the instructions were great.Christmas present for my niece - and it was a wild successMy Grandkids are very happy with the set.my 8 year old grandaughter loved itFantastic set. Exactly what my granddaughter wished for.Made for a wonderful Christmas celebration!My granddaughter loved it!Perfect addition to our daughters collection!Grandkids loved these LegosWe have had this Heartlake Riding Club set since just before Christmas and this is one of my children's favourite sets to play with. We are big fans of Lego Friends and Lego Elves in my home and although I haven't been disappointed in any Lego Friends set, this Riding Club set is easily one of the best ones that I have bought. I have also bought the Having grown up on Technic Lego in the 1980s, I was a little apprehensive of starting my daughter on these new Friends sets which only build one thing. However the set is beautifully made, and has a lot of interesting pieces to keep children entertained, it took my 6 year old about 4 hours solid building to create this kit, and she enjoyed every minute. It's split into three instruction booklets, each stage only adds a small number of pieces so it's easy to follow; the pieces are packed in separate plastic bags therefore the first build it's easy to find everything you need. The finished model is nicely detailed and she is really enjoying it play with it and the accessories. My only criticisms would be: it's a shame Lego don't make nice cardboard box packaging, with a lid and compartments to keep the set in when it's back in pieces (like the original sets of yesteryear) and that these Friends kits don't show some alternative models, (even just with some of the parts or what can be made with extended sets), I'm aware the Builder sets do, but I feel it's a missed opportunity with a toy which encourages this type of creative and imaginative play - perhaps a limitation of kits with such specialist parts.. However, it's very good quality, with neat little additions like the mouse with its home at the top of the stables, plenty of small pieces to keep children entertained and play potential with the horses which can have saddles, riders, blankets etc. Also there are some spare parts including covering the smallest easy to lose items, which is appreciated. My daughter loves it, it's her first Lego set of her own, and she definitely wants more now, so I'll have to rate it 5 out of 5!Would be great, but some of the decorative accessories have a habit of breaking and leaving the dowel shaped part in the hole, so the kid can’t put a bow on said horse or whatever again. Which really frustrates my daughter after all her hard work building it. Took her a long time to come back to it as a consequence! I didn’t want to give it 2 or 3 stars but 2.5 is not an option. Fortunately it was heavily discounted when we bought it.Everything else to do with the set is great, so such a shame. Never had this problem before or since with similarly designed lego accessories!This is a really good Lego set and my daughter loves it. We bought it for her 7th birthday and she was able to build it on her own. It's not the biggest Lego set once constructed but for the price it's not bad. The set comes with extra bits like characters, horses, rosettes for the horse, horse combs, carrots, plus lots of other things.I'd recommend this Lego set.Lovely addition to our daughters Lego Friends collection. She has a few horse and animal Lego sets so this goes well with them. Excellent quality as you would expect from Lego and bought when on offer so only paid £29.99 for the set which I thought was very reasonable as it is quite a substantial Lego set.
