The United Kingdom, just like the USA had it's very own My Little Pony club which ran from about 1986 up until termination in the early 1990s. During it's years the club issued exclusive baby ponies, with various ideas on how to care for them, club badges, codes, wall friezes and certificates. Welcome to the UK World of the Pony Club.
I was a member for only three years, although I would have liked to have been so for more......

This is the club certificate for 1987 (click on image to view in more detail). Majesty, in the foreground was the pony in charge of the club, all the letters tended to be answered in the newsletter by her or Spike. Notice the UK ponies in the foreground!

This is the certificate for 1988.(Click on image to view in more detail) Now the ponies shown on the front are no longer ponies included in the Fact File of the year before. Again, Majesty is still pictured - no matter how the ponies progressed around her she was always the same pony.


In 1989, The My Little Pony Club issued their first baby pony, a pure white (despite advertising illustrations showing her with red hair) newborn baby with no symbol and no name. Members were provided with an adoption certificate and asked to name their little pony. There was even a poll to find the most popular names. I named my baby Beauty, and this is the one you can see pictured above. Click on the ads and certificate of Adoption to view in more detail.

Although I wasn't a member after 1989, I remember well the adverts in the pony comic for the next few years. This is the advert for Baby Bridesmaid, the second club newborn issued in 1990. Notice the borders of the advert - the pony packaging in the UK of this period was in a similar style.

Baby Fun & Games was the Club Newborn for 1991 and she was advertised by a flier put in pony packages during the late stages of 1990. Click on the advert to view in more detail.

Very little is known about this newborn, but it is believed that she was the last club newborn, named Baby Valentine and available before termination, in 1992. Another theory suggests that she was a promotional baby and that her name was Baby Ribbons and Hearts. My own version came via Partners Stationary Store in an unmarked bag in 1992..

***Thanks toNina Kauppila and Selena for the information regarding this newborn***
