Vintage Mobo Bronco Mechanical Pedal Action Riding Horse 13”X27”X30” - Attributed to Mobo (David Sebel and Sons Ltd., Kent, England), this Bronco model mechanical riding horse is constructed from pressed steel with a lithographed and painted finish. The toy features a pedal-activated walking mechanism where downward pressure on the stirrup-style pedals actuates an internal linkage, causing the legs to move in a walking motion. This movement is facilitated by wheels housed within each of the four black-painted hooves. Steering is accomplished via a metal ring bit attached to the head. The body is finished in cream with painted details on the mane and head. The integrated saddle features a red seat and a saddlecloth with a yellow, red, and black tartan pattern. Lithographed markings on the right side beneath the saddle read MADE IN ENGLAND. A faded shield-shaped decal is located on the center of the horse's chest.
