Each style is different. The Show style is designed to present a sleek, freshly brushed look; the Glamorous style is for the pony with Hollywood aspirations; the Harness set is the work pony; the Orientalia is for those ponies with dreams of far Tibet; and the Shaggy set is for everyday, running around in the field, ponies.
