We are adding another farm animal to our collection, a horse craft. And, it starts with just a few basic popsicle sticks. Your horse does not have to look like mine. The only limit is your imagination. It could be a white stallion or black with white spots or pink with a white mane! Make it your own. And then make him some friends: ROOSTER, COW, PIG, SHEEP.
