Ponies have saved my life Pony Peeps! I had just started seriously collecting back in 2018.  If I hadn't been collecting when the pandemic hit in 2020, I seriously don't know what I would have done.  I was an outside cat (Hiker/Geocacher/Avid Traveler) that was forced indoors for her own safety. There was lots of hissing, biting, and scratching (just ask the Hubby). Luckily, I had a Pony Panic Room that I could run to.  I have exactly 3 ponies from my childhood. I currently have 581 G1 ponies. Butterscotch is my army pony.  I think I'm around 50 of her including nirvanas and customs that are enlisted in the Scotchish Army.  I have a small G3 collection but I try to limit its growth so I'll never be pressed for space on the G1 girls. I don't have much family and even fewer friends so one of the things I like about collecting ponies is the community. Ponies take us all back to a time when making friends was so easy.
