I got my first Chap Mei ponies at a dollar store in the late-90’s in mom and baby sets. You can see that the color schemes on some of the adults was influenced by the 1997 My Little Pony reboot (G2). There are also bootleg versions of the Chap Mei original mold with some modifications.
Note that as of 2024, Chap Mei is producing a collection of toy horses under the collection title “Be My Own”. These horses have molded plastic hair and somewhat resemble Playmobil horses.

The metallic accessories discolor the plastic pretty badly. Note that the wings are attached to the saddle, not the pony, so they are plain unicorns if you take off the saddle.
This one is marked Chap Mei but the plastic feels different, so may be a fakie:
