Gusty
My favoritest pony! She was my first G1 when I was about 3 years old. I remember taking her everywhere. She went in the bathtub with me, and... probably ended up suffering from horrible tail rust.
I treasured her very much, but I'm not sure what happened to her. She was probably sold with the rest of my ponies in a Garage sale when I was 11 or 12.
When I got into collecting last year, Gusty was the very first G1 I bought!
Baby Bouncy
When I was 5 years old, we were at the store and I saw the first tooth babies. I fell in love. Being the spoiled child I was, I cried and cried in the store in hopes of my parents caving in and buying it for me. But they didn't, saying that it was almost my birthday. So... I was patient... as patient as a little 5 year old could be. A few weeks later, it was my birthday. I was so excited! It was time for ponies! I was given my gift, but... broke into tears when I opened it. Instead of a pony, I got a panda bear lamp. o_o It was just a stuffed animal attached to a lamp. My dad put a green lightblub in it... my favorite color. I remember sitting in my room and crying for about 2 hours. "I WANT A MY LITTLE PONY! I WANT A MY LITTLE PONY!!!" WHAAAA. lol!
It was probably over the summer the next year, we went to a flea market or garage sale. I found a still boxed Baby Bouncy! My parents finally bought her for me. She went with me just about everywhere, especially since she was so small.
I remember when I was 7, moving to Ohio from Virginia, I held her all the way on the car ride!
As for the other ponies in the picture, they're not my favoritest, but they happen to be in the picture!

Red Roses
I had a friend named Heather when I was 12 who lived the the apartment above me. She was a few years younger than me, but I didn't care. We used to play ponies all the time, as well as video games and watch movies! Her grandmother was a bit on the strict side and refused to let us see eachother after she found out that I was turning 13. Apparently I was too old and I was going to badly influence her? I donno! We just liked playing ponies! ;_; We'd sneak and find ways to talk still, and she'd let me borrow a pony or two to play with! I'd sneak and return it to her on her balcony the next day.
After I moved, we exchanged addresses and we wrote eachother back and forth, until I lost her address in high school. About 2001 or so, we got back in contact through the internet. We started hanging out again! She was really into pony collecting and customizing! One day, she gave me all of her childhood ponies, many of which I remember playing with, like Red Roses! She also gave me a custom pony! They were on display in my room for a long time. Alas, I was not a collector at the time. I just loved 80's things. So I put them in a box and stored them in the attic for a long time. We ended up falling out of contact again, and I have no idea how she's doing. ;_; I just know she had a kid about... 6 or 7 years ago? D:
When I got back into collecting, I went back to my parents house shortly thereafter and retrieved the ponies! I've gotten most of them cleaned up to minty condition again. Though one is still being rehaired. Though sadly, this is all I have to remember my friend by. Maybe one day I'll get back in touch with her again!
