Pulling toys like these fighting goats were called 'tica-taca' in the Ladin language. In its heyday before 1914, the Val Gardena range comprised up to 500 articles, including dolls, horses, carts, waggon, hampelmans, marble games, tightrope walking toys, acrobats and all kinds of figurines. There was no protection of designs, and items could be copied by other producers. 

Pendulum toys were produced from the end of the 19th century to the start of the 20th century. This toy cow lowers its head to the trough when the pendulum swings, while the calf lifts its head up to drink milk. The wooden ball was produced on the lathe by making balls shaped like on a string of pearls and then separating them from each other. In 1877, there were 300 foot-powered and 60 water-powered lathes in Val Gardena. 

After jointed dolls, carved animals were the most important items in the Val Gardena range. Most of these were horses: rocking horses, draft horses for all sorts of carts and horses on wheels. These horses were painted and delivered in all sizes: from little toy figurines to ones that children could sit on.
