Title: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: lishe on January 15, 2012, 12:34:56 AM: What's your favourite way to enjoy your ponies?

For me, I love it when I have the time to take pictures of them with the whole shebang- backdrop, lighting, props.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

If I don't have the time, I take out my favourite pony of the moment and start brushing her mane or tail. Very soothing!

Post by: kmlv23 on January 15, 2012, 12:37:18 AM: Definitely hair brushing. :) And/or taking care of thrift store finds...I'm very much a maternal type, and I take to cute things much like a fish takes to water. So essentially I start mothering them. ahha. ^_^"

Post by: DoctorMowinckel on January 15, 2012, 01:08:01 AM: Brushy brushy and pictures! I have a G4 fashion style Fluttershy on my desk so I can brush her hair recreationally without having to get up and snag a pony.

I imagine Fluttershy would be the pony who appreciates brushy brushy the most, so I keep her nearby.

Post by: Taxel on January 15, 2012, 01:29:37 AM: Photographing them! Especially with my new camera. Its wonderful.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: fingerpaints on January 15, 2012, 01:58:58 AM: I enjoy brushing their hair (if its nice & smooth anyhow) I also like putting little accessories like ribbons or jewelry on them

Post by: Umiyuri on January 15, 2012, 02:50:06 AM: …Sitting my Sonic toys on them and imagining silly arguments between rider and pony. Of course, Classic Sonic spares Minty these arguments, but Shadow and Fluttershy have a lot to talk about.

I must be the weirdest person.

I loooove silky hair! And I love looking at them when they're all pretty on their shelves next to eachother.

Post by: spottedslug on January 15, 2012, 06:13:30 AM: I enjoy watching my children play with them. <3
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: ZettaMomo on January 15, 2012, 07:03:15 AM: Definitely brushing their hair! And sometimes setting up little 'scenes' with them.
Sometimes I like to take them outside for pictures if the weather is nice too.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Sarah-Bee on January 15, 2012, 07:52:53 AM: I can sit in my pony room for hours just picking them up, messing with their hair and admiring their prettiness :P
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: dxgirly on January 15, 2012, 08:01:37 AM: I like stroking their bodies and their hair, and giving them little kisses on their noses. ^.^
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Crowning_Glory13 on January 15, 2012, 08:28:56 AM: If i have time I. Play like I. Did when I was 5. Hehehe. I never had a dream castle so i try to make up all the time i missed. I love to style and try to make families or love pairs. I still such a kid.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Dewprincess on January 15, 2012, 08:42:23 AM: Cleaning up "well-loved" ponies and restoring them to their former beauty, arranging them on display, the thrill of the hunt (ooh, is that a flash of a pony tail I see in that box??), and pony meets :-)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: RAMChYLD on January 15, 2012, 09:19:00 AM: Picking them up and stroking their mane. For some reason I feel calm when doing that.

Sometimes, trying to cuddle them works too, but then most ponies are too small to cuddle :P
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on January 15, 2012, 10:07:54 AM: I love brushing their hair! And cleaning them. I had so much fun fixing my G3 Sunny Daze V that my mom had got at the Goodwill for me, her tail had something sticky (syrup maybe?) so, I washed her down with warm water and conditioned her mane and especially her tail. Her hair looks and feels mint now! Then I did the same to G3 Bowtie (she had a lot of snarls) and now she looks great. :art:
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Monsterelli on January 15, 2012, 10:21:20 AM: I love taking pictures of them, petting and brushing. Right now I have all my G4's on Rarity's Carousel which sits on my desk - just looking at them puts a smile on my face. :)
I really hope to go to the thrift store sometime, I'd love to rescue ponies and make them all pretty & loved again.
:lovey:

Yeah, pony hunting! It's the best feeling when I actually find a pony or more somewhere! :D
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: tuneful87 on January 15, 2012, 10:54:26 AM: As much as I like photographing my collection, I get infinite more enjoyment in putting them on display, picking who stands next to who, what angle I display them at, etc.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: SkyCakes on January 15, 2012, 11:52:38 AM: I think I like to talk about them and cleaning them, and picking up my new plushie and giving it a hug.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Prixton on January 15, 2012, 12:31:26 PM: Like Tuneful, I really like to just display them and look at them. I also like to buy "well loved" ponies and clean/restore them.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: hathorcat on January 15, 2012, 12:33:26 PM: Taking pictures! When I have a pony complete with all her accessories and she is in gorgeous groomed condition! That makes me super happy...
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: StarDragon on January 15, 2012, 12:53:46 PM: I like to take them with me places, like the other day I went for a walk in the woods, and I took Skydancer and baby Bouncy with me for the ride in my purse. :D So fun! (And cute)
I also like to put them in some old Fischer Price playhouses I used to have as a kid and pretend they are living there. What I would really like to do is get a lot of play-houses, doll houses, and a lot of accessories to make a sort of village or something for all my ponies! That is my dream pony room. Then I can play with them... (such a kid, I know).
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Elfpony on January 15, 2012, 01:02:22 PM: I love setting up scenes for them, fiddling in the Pony Room, going to Pony meets and talking with other collectors, and of course hanging out on the Arena. :P Sometimes on a weekend I'll just sit in the Pony Room for ages and look around at everyone.

Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: ZennaBug on January 15, 2012, 01:19:09 PM: I like to clean them up, do their hair, and play with their arrangement on my shelf. And I pick my SS ponies and pet their noses :lovey:
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: mlp4me on January 15, 2012, 01:21:49 PM: I enjoy cleaning them, :) then submitting them to the curling iron :P . Hair must be just so... ;)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: FlitterRose on January 15, 2012, 01:35:11 PM: Usually brushing their pretty hair...But sometimes I just love to sit and staring at them LOL :biggrin:
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: ashes on January 15, 2012, 02:00:29 PM: I just like putting them up for display (when I can). I like being able to walk into my room and seeing a few of my favorite ponies and Nirvanas.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: CowgirlApplejack on January 15, 2012, 02:36:01 PM: I used to draw them a lot. I had pages and pages of My Little Pony drawings. I should get back into that - it was always tons of fun :)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: scarletjul on January 15, 2012, 02:39:00 PM: When I have time, I like to take set them up with accessories and such to take pics. I also really enjoy hunting for them, especially when I find g1s secondhand. :)

Otherwise, I enjoy displaying them, brushing their hair and even just looking at them sometimes. :)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: OctoberFlash on January 15, 2012, 02:40:56 PM: I brush them! :D And sometimes, I just touch their hair, it's calming. ^^

I also like to just pick them up and .. look at them, lol. It makes me feel strange, but it's.. nice.. c:

I also got this amazing wonderful feeling when I found secondhand ponies on my own for the first time, I definitely love pony hunting!
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Betelgeuse on January 15, 2012, 03:43:24 PM: play with them and exercize my imagination. Sometimes I write them songs on the piano. For some reason I cannot explain most of the songs are for unicorns...
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: michelle53 on January 15, 2012, 04:00:27 PM: I've been a pony hair brusher since I was a kid. There is something so comforting and soothing about combing through colorful hair. I really enjoy taking pictures of my girlies and talking about ponies with everyone here.
I must confess, I was *really* lonely this past week without the Arena. I'm so glad the new Arena is up and running (so smoothly I might add)! So happy to see everyone's avatars again, it's kind of like a reunion. I know, I'm cheesy.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: ZeldaTheSwordsman on January 15, 2012, 04:39:18 PM: I play with them. Sometimes they're walking or flying around, sometimes they talk, sometimes they fight monsters. I really enjoy playing with Rosedust.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Calico_Star on January 15, 2012, 05:03:05 PM: My favorite thing is cleaning and restoring dirty, beat-up ponies and making them beautiful again :) I also like just looking at them or holding them, or giving them pretty new tail ribbons. And of course it's always fun to take a pony with me when I go out, so I can take cute pictures :)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: TickledPink on January 15, 2012, 05:49:05 PM: Definitely brushing their hair. Playing pony salon is fun too :D

Another way to enjoy them is when I work on customs. I love bringing new life to them ^_^
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Ringlets on January 15, 2012, 06:47:10 PM: My favorite way to enjoy ponies.. hmm.. I think thats gotta be writing picfics/taking pics - especially of my faves :lovey: . I also love to draw ponies, make new displays, clean and restore, and brush their hair. Pony hunting is fun too! hey whats not to like about ponies?! :frolic: :happy:

I really missed the arena too, the previous week did feel kind of *empty*...
Love you arena :tackleglomp: (hehe, funny new icon)

Post by: The_Loner on January 16, 2012, 02:27:02 AM: Playing with them and taking pictures of them :)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: lishe on January 16, 2012, 03:43:51 AM: Loving every post I read! I don't know about you guys, but it's giving me a warm fuzzy feeling when you girls describe how you show affection for your ponies... *goes cuddle my own ponies some*
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: Gingerbread on January 16, 2012, 06:27:09 AM: I love taking pictures! Specifically taking ponies out with me and snapping them in weird and wonderful places :nerdy: Also the thrill for me is in the pony hunt - there is nothing like wandering around a boot sale and seeing that little flash of hair or foot, diving into a box and proudly coming out with a pony!
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: elvanui on January 23, 2012, 07:11:48 AM: This is a really cool thread, WoW...
I love cleaning manky ponies and prettying them up. Lol, I also love ironing frizzy hair and admiring the After-looks:)!
And brushing, definitely! Especially G3s as they have longer and shinier hair, but B'n'Gs get a lot of affection as well. I'm also all about hair, oh and petting pegasus wings, especially if the are glittery:)... Hmmm!

Not at all.
I am keeping my Classic sonic in the package, but I have Deadpool and Wolverine riding on my G4s right now! You are not alone!

Post by: CadePony on January 23, 2012, 07:45:39 AM: My favorite way to enjoy my ponies is definitely photographing them outside on nice sunny days. Then it's just learning of newer G4 Pony releases and having a fun time finding them in retail.
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: StarDapple on January 23, 2012, 08:38:04 AM: I love styling their hair and making cute accessories for them. I also like cleaning dirty ponies I find to bring them back to their full glory. :)
Title: Re: Your favourite way to enjoy ponies!
Post by: tehrin on January 23, 2012, 08:43:15 AM: My favorite way to enjoy them is restoring them! There's something so nice about getting a dirty/ink-stained/yucky or otherwise well-loved pony and bringing them back to their original state, or as close to it as I can get. :)
