Title: how do you spoil your herd?
Post by: kingluke on May 22, 2019, 10:19:34 AM

Hello,

Everbody here loves their herd. I'm sure. How do you show that affection?
Do you sew them dresses? Knit them scarfs? Paint them paintings? draw them? take pictures? Keep them clean? Talk to them?

I like to sew them little dresses, take pictures and catch myself talking to them because I'm home alone most of the day.  :blush:

So how do you spoil your herd?
Please let me know :)

Thank you.

Cheers,

Luke

I style their hair regularly and sometimes take pictures of them. I also keep them in nice looking shelves and dust them every week

I choose a few ponies to be my "desk buddies" and those ponies can stay for a while on my chairs doubling as desks on display. I rotate the ponies I keep there instead of the shelves, too.
And many ponies get necklaces and ribbons as Sky Rocket here demonstrates! :)

Gorgeous!


Uh spoil? I do ribbons and bandanas I guess. Took Trucker with me to go bandana shopping. Dunno if I'd call that spoiling.

I dress them up or display them doing something fun, like my current little pony nursery with a few of my baby ponies interacting with tiny toys and fixtures from other toy lines, such as Calico Critters and World's Smallest.

I love taking pictures outside! I also take some of my favorites out to trips to get more interesting photos.

I spoilt my herd by buying them new friends!

I do dust them periodically and comb their hair to tidy them up

I've also been know to take them outside for photos!

I like to brush their hair. I have been trying to grab a few off of my new shelves and put them in front of my computer so I can have some "pony bonding time" with them. Ive being trying to grab the ponies in themes spring ect... each month. :)

     I quite enjoy brushing everybody. And I’ve been trying to make little tiny clothes/props for them to use. I like making things, especially functional items. Currently trying to make a suit of armour and a magic staff.

I knit them outfits, but they only get to wear them a short time...some one is always looking for a pony dress! I fo spa days and nice hair curls or style. I make scenes with play sets and move the around. Majesty is not the only one who sits on the blue throne...*cue game of thrones music *

I make wings for the broken wings of my heard....I also pair them with drama. I am my 5 year old self trapped un an adult body...so I play with them and give them back stories.

I do this too, but it's not so much 'spoiling them' as amusing myself :) especially if I take a pony on a trip somewhere, figuring out a good picture to take is fun.

My ponies are mostly lucky to get an occasional spa day, to be honest. But I will get them out and brush their hair and clean them if they need it. Just I'm away from them so much and don't have the time when I'm home to go through the whole collection.

I guess the most I 'spoiled' my collection was when I reorganised my cupboard and put in freezer trays to give extra insert shelves. So now they have more space and are not sitting on top of each other.

I brush them, tie ribbons in their hair, make them accessories and cute displays!  I love styling their hair too, braiding it, curling it, putting barrettes in it....
I gave Merry Treats a nice boil perm today <3

Is “all of the above” an option? X3 I play with, style, arrange, and display my herd... and I want to sew some pony-wear when I get a chance (I’ve never tried sewing for a non-humanoid doll before, so that should be interesting...). Haha, I never really outgrew the “childhood whimsy” stage, even now when I’m in my late twenties... MLPs have pretty much always been a part of my life. =D

They have the biggest bedroom in the house as the pony room so... ;)

I’ve also just finished (for the brushables) cataloguing, cleaning, and photographing everyone. Still have more to do with the plush, merch, etc.

Exactly! Sometimes they get extra spoiled by getting their friends from the same set. How they must miss their fellow ____________(fill in the blank here: twinkle eyed, TAF, etc.)
