My little pony show stable.

IN 1982 Hasbro toy manufactures produced a new toy it was my little pony. Ahh my little pony was every little girls dream, oh to own a pretty pony one that had pretty hair that you could style. You could dream of winning those races with them. Take them to the beauty parlour. Put the baby pony in its nappy.

These ponies were really played with like a doll more than as an animal. My daughter aged about 5 when they first came out. It was not long before she entered the dream play world of my little pony. I was in the loft last week hunting out children’s toys we stored from my daughters childhood playdays to give my grand children.


The first my little pony was made in …1982. The show stable produced in 1983 my daughter a sweet 5 year old loved pretty things. I can not remember if the My little pony was a birthday or Christmas present and I am sorry I can not remember the price I seem to remember we as young parents thought it quite expensive . You can buy second hand my little pony show stable from between £5 and £10 on eBay. My little pony is suitable for children aged 3 and over.

My little pony stable was our choice to give our daughter as we thought that a stable would give her some play scenes for imagining the ponies in their stables and tending them. Also we thought it an ideal toy to house the many ponies and accessories she was beginning to collect, help keep them tidy and together. I suppose you could equate the my little pony show stable with a dolls house.

Now come on get down with me and explore the show stable I got out of the attic most of the original pieces are still here.

Let’s fit the white stable together its quite easy. You fix the 4 stable doors on, they just click on. These now open easily so you can play with the ponies.
On the front of the building is the little pony logo a rainbow with show stable written underneath. My daughters stable has a few other stickers on too, I am not sure if these came with the show stable, she may have got them separately.
The floor of the stable is blue. The roof of the stables is a light purple colour this lifts up off the stable. There is a hidden handle on the roof this makes for easy carrying. The roof also has a removable weather vein; this is a yellow pony with an arrow.
There are also 3 places where you can fit in 3 flags. 4 flags come with the stable. There is a position you can fix the spare flag on the ponies saddle. These flags have pony symbols from the decoration on the individual ponies.
The fully assembled show stable is a cube about 30cm sq.

Inside the stable
There is a free standing white bed with a purple head board this came with a pretty pink blanket.
There are hooks on the doors at the back of the stable from these the little ponies could hang the first second and third ribbons that they won (the ribbons came with the stable.) Three yellow trophy cups also came with the stable.
There are two green window shelves to fit onto the windows and 2 green troughs to put outside the show stable

Also with the show stable came Lemon drop. A pretty yellow pony with purple mane and tail, purple eyes too. She has purple raindrops on her hind quarters. My daughter spent ages grooming her with the purple comb and yellow heart shaped brush that came with the stable tying the pony tail with the ribbon that also came with the set... Lemon drops mane and tail could be plaited and coiffed for hours.

Lemon drop has a pink saddle with a rope design on it and lots of flowers, reins and bridle
A little plastic light brown puppy called Brandy was there in the stable to add to the fun.

Now my little pony had been groomed ready for the races. A race course could be set up with the two white A style jumps and the pole jump (white with yellow pole). There were 6 green plastic fences. Lemon drop and the other ponies my daughter owned had great fun racing and jumping. Winning the trophies.

My daughter and her friends did play with this My little pony stable quite a lot. The stable is quite easy to carry from room to room by its handle and it is also a good toy to take to amuse your child at a relative as it is compact and you can carry the little pony paraphernalia inside the stable.

When I went into a toy shop yesterday I looked to see if there is some other little pony toys and yes I noticed a new generation of my little ponies. I expect our new generation (granddaughter ) will enjoy playing with her mothers little pony stable soon .
