Title: What is your favourite pony that was released in your birthyear?
Post by: CottonTALE on December 27, 2015, 10:01:56 AM
I figured it would be cool to share with one another what our favourite ponies were from the years we were born in with some pony history and pop culture from that year! I'll start us off:

----

I was born in 1992 (making me 23-going on 24. Eesh i'm old :P) Sister Act, Aladdin, and Wayne's World wer released in theatres, and Pearl Jam and Nirvana filled the airwaves. In MLP, Year 10 ponies were just coming to a close in North America marking the end of the first generation of ponies for NA (but ponies continued on internationally for a few more years) Also, the My Little Pony Tales tv show was just coming on the air.

My favourite pony from 1992 would have to be Flowerbelle from the Flower Fantasy Line (Image courtesy of Strawberry Reef)

The G2 line was first produced the year I was born - 1997. I can't choose a favorite pony from that time, but it's neat to share the same year with my favorite pony gen!

What a groovy idea!
My vintage is 1991 - Children of the 90s unite! Bring on the plaid shirts and colourful trousers! :silly:
I'm not 100% is Baby Starbow is from that year or 1990 but I love her anyway. Everything about her design is just gorgeous!

Hmm...late 1984.  Year 3.  White Cap.  I like white ponies with dark mane colors.  The bright highlight increases its appeal.

I was born in Dec 1982, so there weren't a ton of ponies around then... But I do love my Dec Birthflower pony and the bottom of her hoof is stamped 1982.  :lol: I think the actual release date of the first wave of ponies was 83 right?

The #1 song on the Billboard charts at the time was "Mickey" by Toni Basil.. that catchy cheerleader song.. so I leave you now to envision ponies dancing to that.  :biggrin:

Being born in 83, I'd say Windy. DD born in 2003 says Butterscotch.

I was born in June of '91, so I guess that makes mine Year 10.

Looking through everything put out that year, there wasn't a lot that interested me, but this one caught my eye.

I was born in 1980, so I was two years before the first My Little Ponies came out. Sad for me! :( But still a fun thread to read! ^-^

Hmm.

1983?  I think Medley came out that year, right?  I'll go with her.  :)

Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on December 27, 2015, 04:23:33 PM
Well I got a choice on my hands! 1987 was my year! I'm assuming that I'm a Year 5 because that is '86-'87 which I guess means late '86 and early '87, I don't know how the releases were handled back then XD

I would have to say it would be Dancing Butterflies <3 I owned one as a kid and she is somewhere in my restores to be fixed up lol

No ponies in 1977.

I'm 1982. Though I know that there were a few early ponies around in autumn 82 in the States, there were none in 82 in the UK as far as I am aware. Even if there was, I was born at the start of the year, so yeah, no ponies at that time. I'm also not a huge fan of the Flat Foots...I dunno which of them I'd choose if I had to choose one.

@Taproot - Starbow definitely counts for 1991 in terms of UK release ;)

Yeah, no ponies in 1977. But there were horse toys!  My favorite from that year would have to be the springy ride on ones. You know, the ones you fell off, or the springs broke, or that you'd get your hair caught in the springs... great times!

No ponies in 1974 either but I do confess I did have a swinging spring rocking horse and I loved it until my grandma gave it away to some other person in my family which made my mom upset. :/

I'm late 1985 so Year 4. I've always had a soft spot for Fizzy. Though Sundance has always been one of my top favorites.

I was born in 1989 so that makes year 8. My favorite is definitely Baby Sweet Tooth <3

1993 was a surprisingly awesome year :O

Splash & Splish are pretty big grails and I really love the Surprise Twins & their mommy, but if I can only pick one I've gotta go with Nurse Sweetheart (http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Nurse_Sweetheart). White bodied ponies are my favorite and she's pretty similar to my favorite pony Sundance!

Oh, man. I remember seeing these at toy stores in the same aisle as bikes! There was always a cream colored one with red and a pink one with white. I haven't thought about those in forever.

I was born 86 so for me I say Magic Star, coincidentally my very first pony :heart:

I was born before My Little Ponies were started.  I did have a spring horse, though.  And this Breyer horse was introduced in my birth year.  Since I've loved The Black Stallion for just about as long as I remember, I'll go with this.  :good:

I was born in 1986 and that seemed like a very good year for the ponies! ^.^
My favorite is Up, Up & Away and now I finally own her! :heart:
(Just need to save up enough money to buy her baby!)

Weren't they called hobby horses? I had one when I was little.

I was born in 1981, so I guess My Pretty Pony would count- even though I'm not really that fond of them....

Lucky! Year 4 had all my favourite ponies!  I was 81.  I think that's the collector pony year, so not a whole lot of choice.  I guess Bluebell would be my favourite.

I was born in 87 so I'm going to say my current grail, Quackers (who was 86/87 so I'm assuming here...lol)

I was born in 1980 so there were no ponies out at the time.

Ooh fun choice!  I was born in '84 so I guess I have year 2 to choose from, pretty tough order as a lot of my favorites I've collected as an adult come from that year (never had any as a kid, of course, though I did get my first ponies from Year 4 when I was 2).

I think I'm gonna pick Gusty (though Bubbles and Seashell are a close second and third)  Here's a photo of mine:

I love her color combo and symbol.  I even enjoy her cartoon-canon grouchyness.

I was born in 85 and OMG.... I can't decide for just one favorite from this year! lol I realized that almost all my favorite ponies are from this year!  :shocked:

Well, some of my favs: Baby Gusty, Baby Glory, Gingerbread, Fizzy, Paradise, Gusty, Baby Moondancer...

Gold Year, omg!

And here are some photos from my ponies  :happy:

I was born in 1988, very close to 1989.

The 80s is not a decade I tend to be very fond of, MLP's origin aside, so I try not to think about the decade at all.  :lol:

Looking through them, Blueberry Baskets looks kind of cute.

The 1988 Twice As Fancy (http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1988_tafponies.htm) ponies are pretty neat, too.

Admittedly, I'm more of a G3 girl, though. *gasps heard everywhere*

That's an interesting question. :) Year 8 of G1 actually holds three of my favorite sets: Starlight babies, Tropical ponies and Rainbow Curls. I love them all equally much. :lovey:

Year 4... I'd have to say probably SS Gusty.

Wow, I'm learning that we have some young'uns here! ;) I was born in '87, so year 5... I LOVE TE ponies, but I prefer the ones from the earlier set. I guess I'll go with the following (I can never just pick one!): Bright Eyes, Angel, Salty, Princess Tiffany, and Spunky the Camel!

For 1997 (G2) I'd choose the Pretty Parlor version of Ivy, who is indeed a favourite of mine <3

Yea another oldie here! 1978. No ponies yet.
Nice to read about all you youngsters though! ;)

My daughter was born in november 2010 right into the G4 generation. Her favorite is tied between Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. 
She's been watching the tv series pretty much her whole life! Lol
That's my girl!  :biggrin:
And shes the one that got me into the G4s actually!  :)

1993 here! Baby Sapphire, for sure--I'm always a sucker for blue gemstones, and blue in general, haha. Baby Licorice and both of the Great Hair Ponies are definitely close runner-ups, though!
