Parents to pony up for this year’s top Christmas gift

A LIFE-SIZE pony that wiggles her ears, swishes her tail and eats a special carrot is expected to become the biggest selling toy this Christmas.

Fu-Real Butterscotch, which goes on sale in November, is expected to gallop out of toy shops faster than Furbys, Tamagotchis or Barbie Dolls.

At 39 inches tall and 42 inches long, Butterscotch puts the traditional rocking horse and My Little Ponies in the ha’penny place.
