Original Little People Horses
The Little People horses were first introduced in 1968 with the #915 Play Family Farm, and discontinued in 1991. At first glance, it appears as though there were only 3 different horses: a black horse, a brown horse, and the JC Pennys exclusive white horse. During the 23 year time span that these horses were made, there were several different variations of them. Although these variations are small and numerous, they can helpful in determining the age of each horse:
In addition to the above mentioned variations, there are a couple of others. The brown horse could be one of three different types of brown: there is light brown, dark brown and a shiny dark brown, click here for a photo. Although we do not know whether the dark or light brown horse came first, we do know that the shiny brown horse was the last version made. Likewise, the older black horses are dull and the later versions were shiny black.
