The Berrytown Family

The Berrytown Family were on sale in the UK and in Europe in 1993 and 1994. They were sold on cards translated into the relevant languages of the different countries in which it was sold, although in some areas cards were simply left in English. Each pony was sold individually on a card with their own accessories. The adults and the babies came from different assortments, as had happened with the individual releases for the Loving Families in Europe in 1989 and 1990.

Although the accessories differed between ponies, they were still on a theme. All members had a ribbon and a rose pick that was a unique style for this family.

The accessories were the same across all releases. None of them were ever sold in North America.

The Family Friends and Family Babies were the only ones to have this horizontal striped hair.


The Berrytown Family


The Berrytown Family were cast as the 'town' family ponies, as can be seen by their symbols. In the animation, they had an extra sibling, who ended up being included in the Tales girls' club and club house despite the general rule to ban boys. In the comic, there was no extra sibling, and Daddy Berrytown was introduced as the town's new doctor, with whom Melody's mother worked.
