The Secret Surprise pose was introduced in Year 9 for the Secret Surprise set, and was never used again. This pose is considerably larger than any other pony pose. It stands with all four feet flat and the head turned very slightly to the right and bent slightly down.
     This pose has a rectangular cavity in its back with a hard plastic saddle hinged in the rear and a locked down in the front. You can unlock and lift the saddle by turning a key in the keyhold in the pony's chest.
     Two different saddles and two different keyholes were made for this pose (see "Heart Saddle", "Star Saddle", "Heart Lock", and "Star Lock" below).

Below the dots on either side is a ribbon strung with hearts, and below the ribbon are three hearts and three dots. The saddle is trimmed with bows.

     The Surprise Twins mommy pony pose was introduced in Europe in 1994 for the Surprise Twins playset and was never used again. This pose stands with all four feet flat and spread apart, and the head is turned slightly to the right. It has a collar molded around the neck and chest, with a switch which, when pressed, opens a trapdoor under the pony where her babies can be stored. This pose is larger than most other pony poses, and has a thicker body.

     The Surprise Twins baby pose was introduced in Europe in 1994 for the Surprise Twins playset, and was never used again. This pose is much smaller than any other baby pose ever printed. It is in a lying-down position with the head forward. The mane and tail are molded on, and the mane falls to the right.
