1991: Baby Ballerina Ponies

BABY SOFT STEPS

Pink baby earth pony with aqua mane and tail, yellow leotard and lavender shoe bows.

The Baby Ballerina Ponies were the first of their kind sold in the UK, and their jointed bodies inspired instructions on the card to show how they worked. Without symbols, they are identifiable by their colour schemes. Each of them was sold on a green bordered card in the UK, and each pony had a unique story attached.

The Baby Ballerina Ponies did appear in the MLP comic, the first time dancing baby ponies had made an appearance since the Baby Bonnet School of Dance had been issued several years earlier.

Despite the messy nature of my childhood Soft Steps' tail, her hair should always be straight. I have never seen one from new with curly hair.
