Nice to meet you all. I recently got my thirty or so 80s childhood ponies down from the attic, and in looking up how to make them look a little less grim, I found you lovely folks. I’ve decided to start collecting, because as a 40 yo I can finally buy the ponies I never had as a kid! It’s been really fun looking at everyone’s collections and remembering the pony things I used to love that have been lost over the years (RIP show stable).
My user name comes from my first pony, Blossom. I got her for Christmas in the early 80s, and she came with me everywhere until I was ten or so. She’s a rather pleasant shade of grey now (me too, sis) and her hair is a tangled stump, but I’m going to have a go at making her look a little less sad, and find her some more friends!
Thanks for all the knowledge you folks share here. It’s already been incredibly helpful.
