Who was your very first pony?

[Niwalime]

Oooh! Pony memories!
My first ever childhood pony was a G2 Glitteryheart. I still have her, somehow nearly complete with her hat, shades and bag (I Have no idea how I didn't loose them), then came some G3 ponies

The pony that got me into collecting was a thriftstore find - G1 Flurry! Although I am now collecting G3's only, Flurry is very dear to me since she got me back into MLP

My first was Cherries Jubilee. I remember picking her out in the shop, my mum approved because she too liked cherries. She is one of the few we got from new, most of my other childhood ones were hand-me-downs from my cousin or second-hand from the local market. I still have my childhood CJ, she's in fab condition!! I bought her her baby to go with her, they're so cute together
As an adult, it was Masquerade that started me off collecting. I was on holiday with my friends, and we started talking about things from our childhood. Obviously the subject of MLP came up, and I said "I wonder if there's any on eBay?" I looked, and there was Masquerade, a pony I'd always wished I'd had as a child! She was ending in like 5 minutes, so I asked my husband if I could bid, he said yes, and I won her!! That was January 2010, and I've been collecting ever since.

Mine was Baby Firefly when she first came out. ^-^ I loved her so much! I was really upset when she got lost during a move when I was 6.

Lady.Arachnia: Do you have a pic of your special fakie? I would love to see it!

Yes I have! She and SkyDancer never lose each others side anymore! *In the Carrying Case are the other ponies from my childhood herd, sadly only the one's who survived...

I think my first pony was a Funko vinyl Pinkie Pie way back in 2013.

My very first one was this Minty:

I got her for Christmas. I knew I would get a pony as a present, and I remember being very, very excited, lying in bed trying to sleep the night before Christmas and singing to myself about the pony I was to finally get She is my most precious toy, and I've taken her with me whenever I moved (been living in three different countries so far). I am very sure that there was a misprint on the backcard of her box, saying that her name was "Minky" instead of Minty - that's what I called her until about a year ago when I first found out that she was supposed to be called Minty, haha 

Next one was Firefly

Rainbow Windy (Christmas 1984). I have vague memories of giving her a shower in a maroon easter egg box which may have been the following year. I was almost 3 when I got her, so it's hazy My mother got her for me. She actually remembers this quite clearly, apparently it was BHS, and they were all on a pillar, and there were others there as well. Mum doesn't remember which, but she says she remembered Windy was really pretty to her and they were inexpensive, so she decided to buy her and see if I liked it. Little did she know what she was beginning.

She also insisted for years, before any UK carded images or ponies appeared online, that the horizantal card image of MOC Windy was "wrong" because my Windy had been on a "long card". And then UK carded ones came up on ebay and she was proven right

 My sister's was Fizzy, second hand, when she was three.

From carbooting (which was recollecting beginning point in 1995) - Lickety Split and Parasol.

From online trading, Mimic and Best Wishes.

I still have all my childhood ponies, though, and so does Naynie, so Windy for me and Fizzy for her.

Ah, I'd guess Lemon Drop with her stable was my first, but the one I have the earliest memory of actually getting is Baby Glory...I remember my mom placing her and all her little accessories on my bed to find when I came home from school one day <3

[Ribbs]

Applejack, g1 passed down to me by my favorite cousin.

[Starfrey]

These are all such great stories! I love hearing about it. I still have my childhood ponies too.

I didn't realize that I had received a My Little Pony so early in life until I was looking through old photos (I think this is Christmas 1986):

SS Fifi!

The first pony I remember getting was Ruby Lips, and I remember her being on clearance at the grocery store and *begging* my mom for her (my mom didn't like buying 'name brand' things). Her package was beat up and the lipstick was missing, but my mom bought her for me. I wish I still had Ruby Lips and SS Fifi!

I wish I could remember that far back, but Ponies were there ever sinse I could remember. My sister had them before me, and even as a toddler I always had a pony in hand. I'm not sure who my very first ponies were, though I know for certain there was a Peachy that got my Sis and I going, I recall baby Sunshower, Baby Blossom, Baby Lickety Split, and I do recall having her so soft Mommy who I regrettably took swimming with me one day... There were so many though, I wish I could just grasp back in time and figure out who exactly was the first but, no, my memory just isn't tat good

BUT I do still have that infamous Peachy that started it all! My sister let me have her when she outgrew them, and though she's VERY well loved she holds a place of honor in my herd. She's kinda the granny. Her hairs thinned and balding, she's been chewed on and is so worn down, but she's wearing the shawl my Granny crocheted for us <3 I adore  her!

Aww, she's cute! I love her colors.

Also loving all of these pony memories!

G1 Sparkler! I don't remember how I got her, I was too young, but she remains one of my favorite ponies to this day.

G3 Starbeam was the pony that got me started on my pony collection (and collecting children's toys in general...I have much too many now....)

That is such an awesome picture!

I don't have so many early pictures like that - a few with ponies in the background and foreground, and then we play a mad guessing game with a wrapped package that looks pony shaped (maybe that's Masquerade?)

THe earliest pony photo I think I have is me with Baby Blossom when I was about...four or five? She was my 2nd pony. No pictures with Windy from very early on, sadly...

My first childhood pony was Manzanitas (Applejack) and the last one Lucero (Dazzleglow). I still have Lucero's package.
