All Barbie's Horses

I always loved My Little Ponies more than Barbie dolls. You might think that love for ponies carries over to real horses and horse toys, but not for me it doesn't. I like Fashion Star Fillies & Dream Beauties, but have pretty much always shunned Barbie horses. Realizing the rest of the world didn't feel as I did toward Mattel's onslaught of equine companions I decided to try and find out just how many dang horses the eternal entity, Barbie, has.

So it came to be that there were a couple of days, maybe a week, that I barely slept whilst searching out images of all of Barbie's horses.

Please join me for a look at the most redick complete collection of Barbie's many horses.

If you dolls had to pick one horse, which would it be?

  2. Also missing is Jumper from 1978. Looks like Dancer but has black airbrushing to the mid fetlock (very similar to Amigo from another line who has airbrushing to just above the knee).
