Ponies Carousel

Picture: This carousel plays music. These little ponies are only about one inch tall. They have a circle on the bottom that turns on the music. There are about 45 of these little petite ponies.

Veronica's Tips on Collecting

  • There are many little ponies that are sold, but just because they are little and ponies, that doesn't make them the authentic My Little Pony. Authentic My Little Ponies will have Hasbro on the bottom on their feet and some will also show dates and origin.
  • The majorities of Ponies are girls, although there are a few boy Ponies.
  • Don't confuse Cabbage Patch Ponies with My Little Ponies, they are not the same thing.
  • Buy only what you like, do not buy an item because you heard it was worth money or that it is hard to find. There are even some Ponies that look (gasp) ugly and we have not purchased them "yet". We will when it comes down to getting them to complete our set--as in getting them last.
  • Another tip is if you sell Ponies, for goodness sake, tell us what symbol is on her hips or on her body. Actually for any person that is selling any type of an item, always try to explain exactly what it looks like, some people are very picky when it comes to collecting.
  • Last, honesty is number one in our book.
