The Sweetsteps Ballerina Ponies were the first and only poseable adult ponies ever printed. They were released in Year 8, between 1989 and 1990. These ponies have movable front and rear legs, and their heads can turn (but can't swivel like the Peek-a-Boo Babies' or the Baby Brothers' heads). They wear molded-on leotards and ballet slippers, and their symbols are printed just above their tails. All of the Sweetsteps Ballerina Ponies are in the same body-pose, but two different heads were used for the set -- the Ballerina Head and the Bride Head (also used for the Pony Bride). This was the only set of adult Ballerina ponies, but a set of Baby Ballerina Ponies was released in Year 9. Each Sweetsteps Ballerina Pony came with a colored tutu with silver edging, two flower barrettes, a star pick, and a ribbon.
