Baby Ponies

     Baby ponies were introduced in Year 2 and continued all the way through Year 10 in the US, and longer in some other countries. There were 21 different baby pony poses over the years, without counting Newborn and Teeny Tiny poses or Baby Sea Pony poses. Baby ponies were made in four types: earth ponies, unicorn ponies, pegasus ponies, and boy ponies.

Baby Earth Pony Poses | Baby Unicorn Poses | Baby Pegasus Poses | Baby Boy Poses


Baby Earth Pony Poses

     The baby earth pony poses, like the adult earth pony poses, were by far the most common type of baby pose. The average set of baby ponies consisted of one pegasus, one unicorn, and two earth ponies, and there were some sets which featured earth ponies exclusively.

     The "Baby Ember Pose" was introduced in Year 2, and was the first Baby Pony pose. This pose stands with all four feet flat and the head turned to the right.
     The Baby Ember Pose was used in Year 2 and in Years 7 through 9 in the US, and in various years in other countries and through special offers.

Baby Blossom Pose

     The "Baby Blossom Pose" was introduced in Year 3. This pose stands with the two right feet flat and the two left feet extended very slightly back so that only the tips of the hooves touch the ground. The head is raised high and tilted a little to the left. The Baby Blossom Pose is easily confused with the Baby Quackers Pose, which is slightly larger and stands with the right legs extended back, and has thicker legs, a larger head, and a first-tooth.
     The Baby Blossom Pose was re-carved in Year 6 for the Peek-a-Boo Baby Ponies set, and in Year 9 for the Baby Ballerina Ponies set. The Peek-a-Boo version of the pose has slightly thicker legs, smaller eyes and nostrils, a poseable head, and ears turned a little more to the sides. The Ballerina Pose, described in more detail below, is fully poseable and wears a molded-on leotard and ballet slippers.
     This pose was used in Year 3 and Years 6 through 9 in the US, and in various years in other countries and through mail-order offers.

     The "Baby Cuddles Pose" was introduced in Year 3. This pose stands with all four feet flat on the ground, the front legs spread and extended forward, the rear legs extended back, and the head facing straight forward. The front legs are considerably shorter than the back legs, so that the pony appears to be leaning forward.
     This pose was used three times in in Year 3, and was never used again in any country. All three of the ponies in this pose have freckles on their noses. All three were also reprinted in the Beddy-Bye-Eye Earth Pose, which see below.

The head and neck are turned a little to the right, and the mouth is open. The Beddy-Bye-Eye Earth Pose, like all three of the BBE poses, has a smaller head than most other baby poses, narrower legs, and smaller ears and nostrils. The eyes are made like baby-doll eyes, and will only remain open while the pony is standing upright.
     This pose was used seven times in Year 4, and was never used again in any country.

     The Baby Quackers Pose is easily confused with the Baby Blossom Pose, which is slightly smaller and stands with the left legs extended back, and has thinner legs, a smaller head, and no first-tooth.
     This pose was used four times in Year 4, and was never used again in any country.

     The "Baby Fifi Pose" was introduced in Year 5. This pose is almost identical to the adult Posey Pose: it stands in a striding position with the head straight forward, the right front leg bent forward, the left front leg curved back with the hoof flat, the right rear leg extended forward with the hoof flat, and the left rear leg extended back. This pose has a "first-tooth."
     The Baby Fifi Pose was made with a poseable head in Year 6 for the Peek-a-Boo Baby Ponies set, but does not appear to have been re-carved; the body and features are identical.

     The "Baby Flicker Pose" was introduced in Year 8 for the Drink n' Wet Baby Ponies set. This pose stands with all four feet flat, the neck extended forward, the head tilted to the right, and the mouth open. Inside, a tube runs from the mouth to the behind, ensuring that any water this pony "drinks" will be deposited in her diaper. This pose has a larger head and thicker legs than most other baby pony poses.
     This pose was used only once in Year 8 in the US, and in was never used again in any country.

Baby Ballerina Pose

     The "Baby Ballerina Pose" is actually a dramatically altered version of the Baby Blossom Pose, which see above. It was introduced in Year 9, and was the only fully poseable baby pony pose ever made. It was used only for the Baby Ballerina set. Like the adult Ballerina Pose, the Baby Ballerina Pose was carved wearing a leotard and four ballet slippers with bows. Like the Baby Blossom Pose, it stands easily with the two right feet flat and the left front foot extended back, and the head is raised high and tilted a little to the left. However, the legs of the Baby Ballerina Pose are spread further apart for balance, and the left rear leg is longer than that of the Baby Blossom Pose. The nose and eyes are also longer.
     This pose was used for all four Baby Ballerina Ponies in Year 9, and was never used again in any country.

Baby Unicorn Poses

     Only three baby unicorn poses were printed, and of these, two were abandoned after only a year. The shortage of unicorn poses is due partly to the fact that Whereas special earth and pegasus poses were created for the First Tooth Baby Ponies set, no first-tooth unicorn was ever made. Nevertheless, there were a lot of baby unicorn ponies, both within and outside the United States.


Baby Glory Pose

     The "Glory Pose" was introduced in Year 3, and was the most common baby unicorn pose -- in fact, it was the only baby unicorn pose that was used in more than one year, and the only baby unicorn pose ever printed outside the US. This pose stands with the left front hoof raised and the other three hooves fairly flat on the ground. The left rear leg is extended just slightly forward, and is considerably longer than the left front leg. The head is turned a little to the left.
     The Baby Glory Pose was re-carved in Year 6 for the Peek-a-Boo Baby Ponies set. The Peek-a-Boo version of the pose has thicker legs, a smaller head, smaller features, and a shorter, wider horn. The head is poseable.
     The Baby Glory Pose was used in Year 3 and in Years 6 through 10 in the US, and in various years in other countries and through mail-order offers.

The head is turned very slightly to the right, and the mouth is open. The Beddy-Bye-Eye Unicorn Pose, like all three of the BBE poses, has a smaller head than most other baby poses, narrower legs, and smaller ears and nostrils. The horn is also very slim.

The two right legs are extended forward a little, as is the neck; the head is turned very slightly to the left. The mouth is open. Inside, a tube runs from the mouth to the behind, ensuring that any water this pony "drinks" will be deposited in her diaper. This pose has a larger head and thicker legs than most other baby pony poses, and the horn is very thick.

Baby Boy Poses

     There are four baby boy poses, the first of which -- the Baby Boy Pose -- is very different from the other three. The Baby Boy Pose is large and chunky, and appears to be wearing horseshoes on otherwise smooth feet. The other three, all of which were ultimately used for the Playtime Baby Brothers set, look very much like the Big Brother poses, with shaggy hooves like Clydesdale horses.
