Yea, the smile and eyes look the same.

Funny addition, I also posted this on facebook and one of my male cousins just posted a comment saying I was robbed! (LOL!) I replied to him that if his sister and I would have put our ponies together as one collection and entered then we would have won because his sister was a collector along with me and I'm pretty sure she was around 100 - I know when she stopped she had 200 so...we would have possible won.

Have no idea why we didn't think of that back then :/

From the NY times article:
Whether great collectors are born or made is a debate that has waged for centuries, and will continue. Marilyn Karp, a collector and professor of art at New York University who has studied children and collecting, believes that ''for some, the instinct is just there.'' Some children are driven by the urge to provide a safe haven for a favorite object, she said, and others, by a fascination with objects and their differences, particularly those things that are ''tangential to their lives.''

[/size]yup that pretty much sums it up

[hyenacub]

Too  bad there's no way to contact the kid, er, woman, to ask if she still colelcts.  Not that she NEEDS to collect, she already has them all! LOL

[Megans_Cousin]

I entered that contest back then. I was about 8 years old.  I was so sad when I saw the winning photo becuase I had no idea you were allowed to include structures, accessories, Pony Wear etc.! I didn't have 300 ponies back then but I know I had a large amount, along with PE, Perm Shoppe, School of Dance, Pretty Parlor, child size clothing and so on!

[tulagirl]

Oh that is so cute. What an adorable little girl with her ponies.

[Shenanigans]

How awesome! I would have been in Heaven having all those ponies as a child! I only had like 15 when I was little :p I wish there was someway we could ask her if she still has them all! Or if she'd be willing to part with them, hehe ;D

[scarletjul]

Wow, how awesome is that?  I am totally jealous of her collection.  I wonder too if she still has them. 

[BabyMedley]

I remember folks talking about this contest in the past. I am bummed that I never even heard about it as a kid, but I wouldn't have won. I topped out at 125 plus playsets in childhood.

[butterflybuttons]

That's one lucky girl.

Yea, if they were counting houses and close that's not fair. I don't think I even put the houses in the pictures I took.

It's be cool to know how many people entered.

[michelle53]

Ahahahaha!  I almost forgot about this!  My mom entered me in the contest and I had about 200 ponies.  This was right around the time of the Lady Flutter controversy, so I almost forgot about the contest.
Wow Rel, you are like Pony PI.  Dang girl, you're good! 

[drusilla]

hi all
 
wow someone should try to contact her to see what happened to them all.
 
if anything to at least say hi from the pony community

[sweetstuff]

That's awesome. I was 10 when that article came out. I never heard about the contest either. Not that I would have won, having a very small herd as a child. She sure looks happy surrounded by all her ponies

[Gingerbread]

Wow that's some amazing history right there! And how lucky was she as a kid to have tons of ponies and then to win a load more!
