1992:

COLORSWIRL PONIES

Another of Hasbro's celebratory experimentations, the three Colorswirl ponies took the idea of zebra stripes to the next level. Each was sold in the same pose (the mould used by the Bridal Ponies), and are unmistakeable for the bright coloured stripes swirled across their bodies.

These three pretty ponies were sadly never sold in the United Kingdom (although in issue 200 of the pony comic is a kid's pony collection which has Springy in it, and I remember being really confused by that as a kid!) and they seem to be quite hard to find even on the North American market, probably because of how late they came to the line.
