Vanishing Childhood ponies?

[Beth3346]

I get so annoyed when I can't remember what happened to some of my childhood toys. My mom tended to give them away if she thought i had outgrown them. So some just kind of disappeared. I still give my mom some grief about giving my care bears away.

I was around 5 or 6 when i had my childhood ponies so I only have vague memories of them.

I loved them but most of them were not well taken care of. Dunked in water, haircuts, played with in the backyard (yes, unfortunately i was that kid) So i think most of them were eventually thrown out. I do wish i had taken better care of them back then. I never imagined I would miss them when i got older.

I have replaced most of the ones that i can remember and no, it's not quite the same but now that i've had them a couple of years they feel more like my own.  And now i do take good care of them

My step-mum threw out my ponies when I was 5 at most. I left them at my dads place and then never saw them again. the only one spared was a sunshine fakie that I left at my mums place. I looked everywhere at both houses, then one day my step-mum saw me looking for them and she said they're gone. I loved them to death.

I had:
Baby Palm Tree
Bubbles
Sunbeam
Parasol
A ballerina baby
A baby sea pony or adult.

I have replacements but it's just not the same. This traumatized me for a very long time. I only started to get over it when I found Princess Sparkle AKA Lucy at a thrift store this was when I was 12

Unfortunately, my ex husband cost me my entire childhood collection of ponies, so I've had to replace them all, and I still haven't replaced every one of them yet. Nothing will be the same as having my childhood ponies, especially my favorites. It does help fill the void to have the replacements, though. To me, they're still better than not having ponies!

My ponies are "lost" in the garage

When we moved in this house I had them. I put them in a storage bin because I wasn't into ponies then (hadn't found the Arena yet ) but I still have most of my childhood toys and I was just putting them away until I could organize. Between then and joining up here, two other households also moved in - and the garage is crammed all the way to the ceiling.

I have tried a few times to go out there and do something, but each time I do, someone comes in behind me and makes a mess of it all again. I gave up They're out there somewhere. In the sweltering heat

Strangely enough... i never lost most of my child hood ponies.
I still have all of the ones i had..
some of them needed baths and to have the nappy hair tripped at touch or conditioned.. but most of them were in good shape.
I was always very bad about that as a child.. taking care of my toys...
They were my friends and you dont want to see your friends get hurt right?
i mean they were just silly little' horsies i know, but to a child they were real.. and meant something.
So i always took excellent care of them..
now poor glory is a bit dirty.. cus she was my first MLP and i loved her so much.. took with me pretty much every were.. poor sparkler has a couple of nibbles on her horn from a puppy i had but shes ok.. gives her a lil character.. but i still have them.
I almost didnt.. my sister wanted to take them and ...well to this day i dont know what she wanted with them since her children were all guys...So i had a choice.. put them up and pretend i wanted nothing to do with them.. or let her ruin them..
so i put them away in my atic and so i still have them now.. hehe
well i had tomove down stairs to help wiht my mom now.. so my g4s have moved with me.. but i still have them..
im so sorry for all of you that lost yours..
i hope you find them all some day.

im having a bit of an odd problem... lol i love my childhood Fizzy, and decided it was time to give her a new mane and tail, so i prepped her for some much needed and deserved spa time, then i moved, and she remained in my 'bait/rehair' box... and i got a couple more fizzys in the mean time, and prepped the ratty ones for varient rehairs... long story short, i now have 3 bald Fizzys in with my bait, all in about the same condition, and im not SURE which girl was MINE. lol its an odd situation and not the end of the world, but im still a bit miffed at myself lol.

Sometimes I wish that my ponies vanished when I was younger but no I saw every single one of them go in one foul swoop....

My mum decided they were destined for the car boot sale   . But I do remember that I was 14 and I snook up in to the loft and removed a few I wish I could I could have saved them all but she would have noticed if they disappeared. I managed to "Save" 4 of them.

anyhow at the car boot sale we had only just got them out and and a bit man with a walking stick came over looked in to the bucket they were in moved the top one then asked how much she said £10 for the lot. and that was it he even took the bucket. I used to wonder what happened to them but thinking about it I bet he sold them on to collectors or something like that.

I have nearly managed to get replacements for them short of one dnw cuddles and I can say with out any doubt they are not going ANYWHERE

I remember my mother sold my ponies to someone who would donate them to a thrift store. I remember it all, teasing my little sister with Tink-a-too II... And my Thistle Whistle... They were mint! (super long hair ponies got a short trim though I didn't comb them  ) But I miss them...

ETA: I still have 3: Snowflake, Mistletoe, and Winter Wish
