I got a small handful of these sets yesterday and they are very cute.
(yes, I do have a few extras, email me if you're interested).

One thing they have is a small horse - I guess meant to be a foal. It's
brown, no moving head and no space for a saddle but otherwise same pose
as the normal horses, and of course smaller. Does this little guy appear
in any other sets? I'm sure he must have.

The other unusual pieces are a pastel green 6x16 plate, a color I
haven't seen anywhere else, and dark pink chairs (not the usual paradisa
pale pink).

Useful parts - 2 white arches, fence, large greenery pieces.

As a building project there's not much to this set (well, it is only 60
pieces!) but I think the play value is good. The carriage will carry the
driver and two passengers, the horse has a saddle as well so that he can
be ridden (and there's a hard hat for a rider), and the foal is
something many kids will love.

There is some Juniorization - two 1x1x5 columns and a 1x2x5 column - but
in this case I think they are justified since the columns are
freestanding and built-up 1x1 columns this high are none too stable.

ps: someone at Lego has a thing about whips. It's logical for the
carriage driver in this set to have one, but even our freestyle tub came
with one!
