Title: Need help identifying a '90s-'00s horse toy
Post by: LordBlumiere on October 31, 2017, 02:21:42 PM
Sadly, I don't have any photos of this horse--she left my life years ago--but I just remembered her the other day and now it's bothering me that I can't find evidence of her ever existing!

She was a large purple horse--think Barbie-sized--with a speaker in her belly that made rather loud whinnying noises. Her legs definitely had some measure of poseability; I distinctly remember ankle and knee joints at the very least. I believe she had plastic of some kind (dots, maybe?) where her mane met her head, and if I'm remembering right her mane was either white or blonde with tinsel.

This had to have been released in the early '90s to early '00s sometime, as that's when I remember having her. I've always lived in Canada if that helps.

I've already crossed out the Starlight Walking Horse for sure, as she never had a remote control.

Thanks for the help! :)

EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it, it's also possible her hair may have been pink. In addition, she had no fantasy parts (horn, wings, etc) and I distinctly remember that her speaker was rounded and indented slightly. I also used to put these velcro stars in her hair, though those may not be related.

Too bad you can't find a picture!  I had some ideas until you said posable legs and then that threw me off.  I can't think of any toy horses I had in the 90s with jointed legs like you mentioned.  But I grew up in the US, not Canada, so perhaps its something specific to your country.  I am by no means an expert on toy horses though so maybe someone else will come along and help out :)

@Stiletto - Thank you! I'm hoping that someone does help, I know of at least 2 other people who remember this horse existing... but no name comes to mind for them either!

@Skeen - The Barbie horse is too new, and that second one definitely isn't it :( Again, she didn't have a remote control or anything--the jointing was something I had to use myself.
