Big Brother poses were the only adult male poses used in the US. They all have shaggy hooves like Clydesdale horses, and their bodies are longer and broader than most female ponies, with thicker legs and larger heads. They are all earth ponies.
Sweetheart Sister poses are the slimmest adult ponies ever printed. They and have long, thin legs; slim bodies; short, narrow faces; and small eyes, ears, and noses. They are all earth ponies.
There are three Big Brother Pony poses, although one was released in two different sizes. The poses were used in three US sets: Year 5 Big Brother Ponies, Year 6 Big Brother Ponies, and Loving Family Ponies. They were also used in the UK Mountain Boy Ponies set, and for variations in various other countries. Three Baby Brother poses were printed as well.
