A caregiver sits with the toddler placed securely on their lap or knees.

The caregiver gently bounces their knees up and down in a walking rhythm, chanting a simple horse-riding rhyme.

The bouncing speeds up at a chosen point in the rhyme to mimic a horse trotting or galloping.

At the final line, the caregiver playfully dips their knees as if the horse has stopped suddenly, making the toddler giggle.

Repeat the whole rhyme and bounce several times, letting the toddler anticipate the fast part.
