I was born in 1994... so my childhood herd consisted of a handful of g1s my older sister passed on to me and fakies... but I also got to play with a lot of my sisters collection too.  ^.^ Once g3 happened I amassed a ton.

I was born in 1981 so no ponies older than me. The first ponies I remember having are from Year 4. I love hearing about people finding secondhand ponies. I don’t remember doing that. Not sure if they weren’t out there, or if I just wasn’t looking?

I’m actually born in 1982! So no, no ponies older than me;) But I loved getting my G1s as a kid, and I always liked the earlier releases over the ones coming out in the early 90’s.

I was born in 2000 and one of my childhood ponies was G1 Starglow! She belonged to my older sister who was born in 1988 and at some point she got passed down to me. She's still with me and to this day she's still one of my favorites.

I was born in '94, so the only official MLP I ever got was a mcdonald's g2 Ivy.  I ended up getting a proper one later!  Otherwise any G1 I pick up is older then me, guaranteed.

Ooh, I got normal Ivy and had to hunt for McD's Ivy to complete my McD's trifecta. I think G2 had my favorite McD's toys because they looked like younger versions of their counterparts, instead of shrunken down versions of normal ponies.

I did! Some of my childhood herd is 20 years older than me :lol: I was born in 2001 and have been collecting G1's since the faithful day my granddad gave me my aunts childhood collection. I was around 2 at the time but I still remember it clearly lol.

I'm lowkey jealous of all yall who inherited collections., but I guess collecting slowly made me savor them more. I wasn't as attached to half my G3 ponies as a kid and they were easily accessible.

I was born in 1987. So, quite a few are older than I am. All my childhood ponies were secondhand. I know that there were some sold after bit for some reason I was not aware of them in stores. However, I did get some petites and one My Little Kitty set in store. Don’t remember actually picking them out though. Flea markets, rummage/garage/yard sales, and thrift stores were my main sources of ponies. My cousin had her older sisters collection. Firefly, Hearthrob, Baby Firefly, Sugarberry, Dancing Butterflies, Locket, Mimic, Snuzzle, Baby Glory, Creamcicle, Baby Shady, Baby Milkweed, Baby Cotton Candy, Butterscotch, Medley, SS Gusty, Gusty, Baby Sundance, Sweet Stuff, Lily, Tropical Breeze, Princess Primrose, Blueberry Baskets, Strawberry Surprise, Lady Flutter, and Buzzer were all childhood ponies older/same age.

Beautybloom, Baby Tappy, Baby Dangles, Streaky, Baby Brightbow, Lil Honeypie, and Baby Stockings were childhood ponies younger than me.
