Buying a stuffed onager?

Where can I buy a stuffed onager toy?
I have a niece who is really into horses of various types. She is really taken with onagers--a kind of Asian wild horse (Equus hemionus) that's smaller than a regular horse (about the size of a donkey). I am trying to buy her a stuffed onager as a present. However, all my searches have led to 1) generic stuffed horses; or 2) toy onager catapults.
Anyone have a suggestion for a good place to purchase (online or brick and morter stories) unusual stuffed animals? I'd like to do something not-cliche. Thanks.

I'll suggest calling or e-mailling the people at the Estes Ark. There's some stuff on the website, no onager, but from when I was there last year, I wouldn't be surprised if they could find one for you. That place is crazy.

If I were you, I'd hire a local crafty artist to make one for you. Someone who makes cute stuffed things and sells them on Etsy. Or look on the internet for a manufacturer who makes custom stuffed animals, though I imagine that will be more expensive.

No onagers, sorry, but the charmingly named www.interfauna.co.uk has a great range of animal soft toys.
