Pony smell is so distinct though. Did we ever come to a consensus on what exactly it is??
Welcome to the next meeting of Pony Sniffer's Anonymous. I don't get the pony smell thing. I either smell something akin to pool floatie plastic, or occasionally rust/mildew/cigarette smoke.
Okay, I have a random pony thought:Did you ever have a pony (or two) as a kid and realized that during your childhood you were calling it by a different name, either because a) you didn't know how to pronounce its name, or b) you just went through your entire childhood thinking that was its name and only just now, as an adult, realized it had an entirely different name? I can give you an example for each one:
Not this exactly, but I grew up with the UK names, and having to adjust or use two names where there are different US names is brain taxing at times. I learned all the US names for ease of communication, but I really hate using them because it's like I'm not talking about the ponies I grew up with at all any more. I wonder if people who grew up with ponies in other languages ever feel like that...
One of the reasons why I loved mail-order Ember was because only one was the "Ember". The other two were literally blank slates that I could give whatever name I wanted to. I named my blue Ember "Blueberry" and she went with me everywhere.

Okay, I have a random pony thought: I also went through my entire life thinking I had one pony, when in actuality I had a completely different pony! Let me tell you the story:I must have been five or six when I received a pony in the mail. It was a blue baby pony with blue hair and no symbol and it came in a small box. Of course I was thrilled to get it and that’s really all I remember: just the excitement of opening a small box to find a pony in there. I don’t remember if it came with any papers telling me what the pony’s name was or anything like that. All my life, I figured the pony was Lucky. Obviously, as you may have guessed, I had a blue Ember. You have to remember this story takes place in the ‘80s, a time before we had a wonderful thing called the Internet. It probably wasn’t until a few years ago when I was doing some MLP research and made this discovery. The pony I had was clearly not Lucky; I just thought it was him because my pony was all blue! And I just assumed they forgot to print the horseshoe symbol, so what do I do? Get out my purple magic marker and draw a crude horseshoe on its haunches! I still have that little pony and it will probably always be known as “Lucky” to me.
