Title: Hello from sunny Florida!
Post by: pikkupapupata on September 30, 2017, 11:35:45 AM: Hi, everyone! I have been collecting off and on for over a decade, and have a relatively modest collection of G1s. They are mainly US releases, but I have several European exclusives as well. I remember playing with my older sister's ponies in the '90s as a kid, then somehow I forgot about them. We only have one left of the original collection, a very sad-looking but sentimentally special Wigwam. Wigwam managed to stay with us all of the way from West Germany where my older sister and I were born (our parents were in the military through the '80s and stationed either in West Germany or California). I found him in a bin one day, but none of the others, and decided to start looking to build back the collection. I collect only G1s, as they are my personal favourites and the most nostalgic to me.
Aside from the ponies, I am currently a student working towards a degree in foreign-language teaching, with emphasis on French. I adore languages and have been studying them, mostly on my own, since I was a teenager. I am a bit rusty with French, but it will not take long to build back my skills, and I consider it a second language. On my own, I enjoy studying Finnish and Swedish when I have the time; they are my absolute favourites.
I look forward to meeting other members here, and thank you!

That's nice you still have Wigwarm from your childhood. My first ever pony (Cotton Candy) is very well loved looking but she holds price of place in my collection :lovey:

I'm sure you will find many more ponies to replace you childhood friends now that you are here. Enjoy the forum :happy:

My childhood ponies are all very scruffy and well loved looking as well, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. Soon you'll find plenty of new friends for your Wigwam, it's really easy to get hooked on pony collecting! ;D

Welcome to the Arena, and have fun pony hunting! I'd love to see pics of your collection, especially your childhood Wigwam. He's my favourite boy pony. ^.^
