The Crafty Ponies elastic surcingle has the same buckles that a real elastic surcingle has.
The surcingles are available in various colours to match your rugs and come with a card that explains the different uses for a surcingle. 
 

Children can learn and practice putting on the surcingles and fastening the twisty buckles. 
Playing with the Crafty Ponies surcingle helps children  develop their imagination and manual dexterity for role play fun!
