You know those half bald ponies?

You get them in lots all the time. Pony is missing half their hair plugs and what's left looks like it was fried. You know the one, right? You imagine the torture that this thing went through! Well... One of Ember's ponies now looks this way. It's never been in the tub, outside, in a pool, exposed to chemicals or even washed! Here's what happened to it. She plays with it daily and has for 5 years. When she's not playing with it she carries it around and twists the hair around her fingers repeatedly. Also the hair is white and it was pink. I guess the dye can rub off as well as fade. I just learned a ton from her pony.

How cute!  I always feel bad when I get a pony that's in really poor condition at flea market etc... and then I think, well at least this pony had lots of love!

Well at least its a well loved pony by the sounds of it I guess its not too surprising that the glue used cant stand up to too much brushing and pulling. As for the fading even the teeniest, tiniest sunlight will fade it. I have a Milkweed and Tumbleweed who sit in a shelf corner, completely in shadow in a dark room and over 2 years their manes have faded in comparison to their tails. Very frustrating!
