Hello!

I've been away from the online MLP Community for over a decade. I may have been an Arena member at one time, but if I was that account is long gone.

I've been collecting since 1983, when my brother used his allowance to let me pick out my own birthday gift at the store. I chose Parasol, and my addiction was complete!

For the next several years, I was given MLPs as birthday and holiday gifts until I was able to afford a real horse. The rest of the money that would have been spent on a gift was put into a savings account, and I bought my first horse in 1992. I'll post pictures if that's allowed.

I enjoy G2 through G4, but G1s will always be my true MLP love.

Welcome!! 
and what a great brother you have! Parasol is such a pretty pony, too - a lovely first-pony!
