Ben and Ondina (US counterpart: Bubbles and Seashell) are two unique ponies, being the only characters ever made in sitting pose (with the exception of a few rare Brazilian hybrids). These two sitting ponies were also available in other countries in a more common Hong Kong version (US, etc) and in a French one as well. Unlike these versions, though, Italian Ben and Ondina do not have a diamond shaped blaze on their nose, but freckles that make them easily recognizable.
