| Baby Ponies [+
Euro variations] |
Year 3 saw the introduction of Baby
Ponies, which were released in various guises
throughout all US and UK production years. The
US set comprised of six ponies, where
as the UK set (called Baby Pony
Play and Care, shown lower) comprised of only
three (including a UK exclusive pony). Baby Cotton Candy
was also released as part of a German Baby Ponies
set in Year 4, along with five new exclusive babies.
All pegasus and unicorns had glittery
symbols, but in parts of Europe they were released with
non-glittery symbols. All ponies from
this set were re-issued as Baby Pearlized Ponies
in Year 7.
Each pony came with several accessories,
plus a teddy bear brush, a ribbon and round scented puffy
sticker with their picture on it.

| Baby Sea Ponies |
 |
Unlike adult Sea
Ponies, Baby Sea Ponies needed help
to keep them afloat in the water. The floats came
in three variations (duck, fish & turtle), each
in a different colour. They had no symbols.
Sea Shimmer
and Surf Rider returned in Year
4 as Pretty 'n Pearly Baby Sea Ponies
in the US, while Sea Star and Tiny
Bubbles were included in the UK's
Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea Ponies.
Each Baby Sea Pony
came with a different coloured whale shaped brush,
and a round, scented puffy sticker.

Megan
& Sundance were always sold together
and returned several times in different styles.
In Year 4 Sundance was a So
Soft Pony and in Year 7 a Twice
As Fancy Pony. Megan & Sundance were
also available with a playset called Megan's
Place, only available in the 1985 US Sears
catalogue.
In the US Sundance
came with bridle and reins but in the UK she did
not. Megan also came with a different set of clothes
in the UK to the dress pictured below, which is
the US release. They also came with a blue flower
shaped brush, comb and a round, scented puffy sticker.

My LIttle
Pony was a UK/Euro set. It included two
ponies from this year's Earth Ponies set (Posey

brush, a ribbon and round scented puffy sticker
with their picture on it.

UK "Wedding Bells, Confetti
Pony"
Although the Rainbow Ponies
were not sold in the UK, Confetti
was. She was marketed as "Wedding Bells, Confetti
Pony" and sold separately. She had a different
pose from the US version and came with a white dress, white
veil, white shoes, ring and lacy garter. Unfortunately poor
old Confetti never did get a groom!
