Butterscotch Pony

**Butterscotch Pony** is a nearly life-sized electronic toy horse added to the FurReal Friends line in 2006. The toy was extremely popular at release and won Toy of the Year's *Best Girls Toy of the Year* and *Most Innovative Toy of the Year* awards in 2007. It features many advanced functions, one of its primary selling points being that small children could sit on its back. Included with the toy is a brush, halter, toy carrot, and an adoption certificate. In 2008, a functionally identical toy horse known as **S'mores Pony** was released with a slightly different color palette.

## Features

Butterscotch Pony features a total of eleven sensors throughout its body, including two microphones on either side of the chest, a light sensor between the eyes, a weight/pressure sensor on the back, and touch sensors on the left and right hindquarters, mouth, muzzle, left and right shoulders, and breast.

Petting the toy on any of its touch sensors causes it to move its head and make various noises. The user can "feed" the pony by inserting the toy carrot into its mouth, which causes it to make eating noises. "Feeding" the toy six times will cause it to become "full" and refuse food for a short time. Sitting on the pony activates the pressure sensors on its back which cause it to move its head and make a variety of noises. If the user pats the hindquarter touch sensors while sitting on the toy, it enters "Riding Mode" and makes walking sounds while moving its head back and forth. The toy is also able to sense light and sound, and if its name is called it will move its head in the direction of the sound. Leaving the toy in a dark room will cause it to go to "sleep," and turning on the lights after a period of darkness cause the toy to "wake up."

## S'mores Pony

In 2008, Hasbro released an identical electronic toy horse under the name S'mores Pony. This model differs only in its color palette and functions exactly the same as the original Butterscotch.

## Accessory Packs

Two add-on accessory packs were released in 2008 for Butterscotch and S'mores, respectively, . Each accessory pack included a saddle blanket, four leg wraps, a blue ribbon, a flower clip, and a bundle of toy grass. Pink and purple versions of the set were released.
