Year 8 had ten
new sets of ponies, seven new special offers and
one new playset.

| Baby
Sparkle Ponies |
|
Baby Sparkle Ponies,
like the adult Sparkle Ponies, had translucent bodies
filled with glitter. All ponies had re-used names
from previous ponies, but the ponies themselves
were unique. Baby Starflower's body turn from pink
to orange over time.
They were not sold in the UK, which
had a alternate set called Starlight Baby
Ponies instead, using the same symbols
but with different names and solid coloured, shiny
bodies.
Each pony came with a brush or comb.
