Title: Hi from Atlantic Canada
Post by: jesswaitaminute on September 17, 2018, 05:08:54 AM

Hi everyone!

I'm Jesswaitaminute, or Jess for short, and although I've been collecting for a while I'm new to the online pony world. I was born in the '80s and got my first ponies then (Wavedancer, baby Quackers and Caramel Crunch) but was mostly collecting in the late '90s and early 2000s. I have  200ish G1s and around 100 G3s.

When I had got married and had kids I packed my ponies away, but I recently found them and it reignited my pony obsession!

I'm mostly just working on cleaning up my old ponies-There was no such thing as magic erasers the last time they were out on display :lol: -because I don't have much time or money to invest in new ponies right now.

My interest is mostly in G1s, but I'm a fan of all generations and really enjoy learning about the different G1 variations and Nirvana ponies. I also loooove cleaning ponies and there's so much great info to be found here about cleaning and restoration. It's so satisfying to transform a grubby and tangly pony into a shiny and silky one.

I don't really know of any G1 collectors in my area (Atlantic Canada) but I'd love to hear from anyone nearby.

I think that's about it, so thanks for reading  ^.^

Hi, welcome to the Arena!

It seems like you have a great herd :D Cleaning a lot can take a while though. You can always ask in the pony corral if you need any help restoring them :) I'm sure you will like the nirvana forum and gallery too!

I'll see you around the forums! Have fun exploring :)

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure I'm going to need some advice very soon....I found a bag of very sad, moldy ponies with bad haircuts hiding at the bottom of a tote bin  :shocked:
