i also have this sad little baby moondancer who was mauled by a dog. She is also stained a gross dingy color. Should i customize her or try to bring her back to her former glory? Oh wait.. wrong baby^__^

But she cleaned up very nicely, so I'm fully in support of deflocking ponies, especially if you grow to love them more because of it. As far as baby moondancer...She was my first custom , namely for the same reasons. She is SO common, and seems to consistantly have so many aging issues, I'd say go ahead and customize her. If someone protests, you could always offer to trade her to them for a bait pony that they deem more common or customizable..But personally, i say go for it on both counts. :D

I love how brightly colored those manky fuzzy ponies are = remove the fuzz!
