Why do you only look on the bad side of the situation? Rather than think "I don't want this because I feel regret keeping it" instead think "It's okay for me to keep this, because it makes me happy to have it around." You're allowed to have things around you because they make you happy.

I am not sure if I said they make me happy NOW. But it's not that black / white. It's really hard.

I dont remember who said this but, They have a saying: If you have it in your hand and it does not make you happy let it go. :/ Even though I regretted what I did in the past what is done is done.
My advice? Put your childhood ponies either in storage or in the closet, somewhere out of sight. Let some time pass, and if you don't miss them, then you know that you can part with them without problem.

There's no need to get rid of something just because it's "taking up space" if it makes you happy, but if they're not bringing you some happiness, then putting them in storage would be a good test of that.

Gonna have to second this. Most of my collection is in storage for the time being (it's pretty large and small apartment) but whenever I take them out I feel so happy seeing them. Sometimes even just putting away something that no longer makes me happy for a bit can completely change that. When I see it again it's like there was never an issue.
