I get embarrassed when I'm rooting through the toys in charity shops, hunting for any G1s, but I figure people will just think I'm buying for a cousin or other child. Really though, I'd rather get the pony even if people think I'm weird, than go without but be normal in the eyes of people I probably wont see again.

Well hello, I'm Susan, 19 and a Law Uni undergraduate from England.

Actively, I've only been collecting for little under a year, however, most of my ponies I've owned since I was a little girl. I only collect G1 and have around 147 of them now; I also have a larger collection of G3 which I aggressively hoarded as a child, but no longer seek them out.

Here is my somewhat display, right next to my shoe collection as I'm a woman of many passions.

Till last year they were living inside a box on top of a wardrobe. I'd take them out every year or so for the nostalgia, however, I recently noticed that the box was rusting and the ponies were getting stained, rust marks on their hair and bent legs from being squished together so long. I decided to clean them up and put them on display (as they deserve), to make up for the years of neglect.

My favourite pony is Bouquet. I just think she's incredibly beautiful,

As well as her appointed boyfriend (since I'm a hopeless romantic and like pairing my ponies off) Chief. I got him from Ebay, somebody had given him a Mohawk and though I intend to re-root him at some point, I have to admit he looks pretty cool.

I also have two love-to-hate / hate-to-love ponies;

These creepy creatures, which seem to be after my soul. One of them has an eye that doesn't always open fully, just one... which adds to the distress.

As well as my zombie plush, with its mouth open it even looks ravenous for brains.
