Sparkle Ponies were originally a mail-order exclusive offer, but later they were made available in stores (see Year 7 Sparkle Ponies), and were sold on cards like other regular ponies. The mail-order Sparkle Ponies, however, have little symbols printed on their cheeks, whereas the store versions of the ponies do not. Two of the mail-order ponies also have different hair colors from their in-store counterparts. The store versions also came with different accessories.
