Hi there!
« on: January 26, 2017, 02:32:21 PM »
Hi :)
I'm super excited to meet everyone, but also a bit nervous  :blush:
I've never posted on any kind of forum so hopefully I do this right. A little about why I'm here...
     First of all, I'm an 80s baby, and so many of my happy childhood memories are attached to My Little Pony. I come from a ranching family and my Dad worked as a cowboy when I was young, so I've always been surrounded by real life horses. I dearly loved horses as a child and as I've grown up they've always been a part of my life. Today, I have two horses of my own that bring so much joy to my life. But the first horses I ever loved were: Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Applejack, Peachy and Sundance!
     Unfortunately, I was separated from my first pony herd at 10 years old. I lost all my toys in an accident and I've thought about them many times over the years. I never shared with anyone that I missed them or considered replacing my ponies as an adult. I was scared of what people would think  :blush:
That all changed last week.  I shyly told my husband I was thinking about starting to collect g-1 my little ponies and the memories I had of them as a child. He said, "that makes sense".  I was like...wait...what!?  : :biggrin:
And then it began, I opened my first box of G-1 ponies yesterday!! It was like the pure joy and happiness of my childhood had arrived in a cardboard box!
They aren't all perfect but they're home and I'm looking forward to showing them some tlc after I learn a little more. Thanks for letting me share. I look forward to learning here and growing my "herd"   :biggrin:
I hope that wasn't too long!

You guys are so sweet, thanks for the warm welcome!
I'm looking forward to chatting, sharing, and learning in the arena.

Diamond,
My real life ponies are a 25 year old quarter horse mare, she's the horse I'm riding in my profile pic. A very big 7 year old paint horse gelding who is an absolute baby, he was born with us and knows he's special  :enthralled:
And my hubbys horse is a 7 year old quarter horse gelding that just "thinks" he belongs to me  ;) Thanks for asking  :biggrin:
Do you have any irl ponies?
