Minty is a Generation 3 My Little Pony who shares her name with both G1 Minty and G4 Minty. She is a shimmery mint green pony with candy pink- and barely pink-striped hair with iridescent tinsel, violet/magenta eyes, and a green and pink peppermint candies Cutie Mark. She is one of the first eight G3 ponies released in 2003 and has a total of 11 different standard releases in seven different poses, along with Hoof Heart and Cutie Mark variations as well as several Mexican and Brazilian Hasbro-licensed releases.

Minty has starred in many of the G3 My Little Pony cartoons and DVDs, including A Charming Birthday, A Very Minty Christmas, The Princess Promenade, A Very Pony Place, The World's Biggest Tea Party and cameo in Meet the Ponies in all of which her voice was played by Tabitha St. Germain. She was a very clumsy ditzy pony that liked the color green and socks.
Minty also appears in the PC Play Pack as one of several characters the player can help prepare for the Friendship Ball.
Variants
In the first year of G3, all ponies were initially released with their hoof-heart on their display-side (the side on which their symbol appeared). Midway through the first year this was changed so that the hoof-heart was always on the magnet leg. Because of this, Minty can be found with the heart on either her left or right leg.
