If it is one of the g1 reproduction ones I have only ever had one of them and she cleaned the same as the normal ones. Have you tries putting the head in hot water to melt the glue a bit. If memory serves it was stiff to get on and off. But sometimes pictures help to get replays when we can see exactly what you are needing to clean up on the pony. As different afflictions need different methods.
The ponies are pretty much the same on the inside...however you have not had 30 years for the glue holding the neck on to break down hence why its so strong Try an acetone garrote (as odd as that sounds) to dissolve the glue and help you get the head off to clean inside.One thing I would say is, are you sure you need to get inside to clean? Not every pony needs taken apart and cleaned this way. These are relatively new ponies so unless it was anything glaringly obvious I would be tempted to leave her with her original glue in place.

It's so wonderful the kind of phrases come out of these pony threads.Good luck, DappledHazel! If you decide the glue is too much, you might just try cleaning the part of the tail that's visible and reachable without getting the head off. If you soften the plastic around the rump with nice hot water you might be able to get at some of the hair that normally sits closer to the washer, so even if you can't get at the source of the problem, you can cosmetically get her looking nicer.
