To use the Hape Pony Club Ranch playset, first take out all the grooming and riding accessories from the stable. Let your little one place the ponies in the stable or have them ride around the ranch area. After a 'long day of riding', they can use the upstairs living area with the kitchen to 'rest'. When it comes to maintenance, keep the playset in a dry place to prevent any damage. Avoid rough handling of the small accessories to ensure they last. For storage, the compact design allows you to easily put it away in a corner or a toy box. Just make sure to check for any loose parts regularly to keep the playset in top condition.
