It still mentions mittens, but it says to keep them warm in the winter cold instead. So the UK understands that ponies don't have hands. But can still wear mittens.....huh. Well, it's a step in the right direction, I suppose.Seems a bit halfhearted to me. Like UK Hasbro was on the fence.I sort of imagine a creative input meeting."Well, we can't have 'hands'. They don't have 'hands'.""But can we have mittens?""I dunno. I mean, mittens don't have that many finger holes, do they?""Well, no, but...they do have thumb sections. And ponies don't have thumbs...""But we keep writing stories about them painting, eating and doing other stuff with hooves.""Yes, but that's imagination!""So we can't imagine them with mittens?""But what about booties? They're for feet!""Ponies don'thave feet either. They have hooves.""Horseshoes, then?""How would that keep them warm?""Well, then, horse booties.""Yes, but mittens are cuter!""...Let's take a vote."

Seeing that scan of the story Carrehz posted, I realised that the UK one DOES correct the hands issue. It still mentions mittens, but it says to keep them warm in the winter cold instead. So the UK understands that ponies don't have hands. But can still wear mittens.
Munchy's comes to mind:After the last baseball game of the season, Munchy called the ponies together to give them a special surprise. "Follow me!" she cried, leading them to a pile of baseball bats and baseballs. When she wiggled her nose, the bats burst into hot dogs, and the balls turned into bags of french fries! "This is better than a home run!" Slugger cheered, biting into his third hot dog! Ponies eating hot dogs is so wrong.

Apparently the ponies now had HANDS. And something had to be done about this confusion. Blimey, what was Hasbro HQ *thinking*!? Put on the tea, nobody is leaving until we figure this out! In the end, they just poured medicinal whisky into the tea and got the work out the door.
I like how her story involves neither berries nor chocolate chips.
