Oh my goodness! They are so pretty! I agree that's a great photo, so nice to see them. Congratulations.

I think I like all of them apart from orange, but some of the ones you get less often like lime, cherry and pineapple.

Sorry I can't help you with the hair sizes but wow you did a great job! I hope the stickiness stabilises for you. I have had ponies who were sticky and then stabilised after cleaning.

Personally I don't believe that organic solvents are safe to use on ponies. When I worked in museums we were told that dish soap also has an impact on anything it comes into contact with. Soft soap and warm water, then toothpaste, then magic erasers are my suggestions in increasing order of strength. Sunlight, extremes of temperature, temperature fluctuations, high humidity and other chemicals such as peroxide also have an impact. The damage only becomes apparent after a time delay. Sunfading of yellow ponies is a good example of this - the pony colour is freshened up but the effect is only temporary and long-term the pony degrades faster.

Thank you very much for sharing this! Yes I do find it fascinating. It's wonderful, congratulations!

Hi there, really hoping to complete some G1 ponies with tails! I need rainbow tails for Starshine, white tail for cloud dreamer and a faded fading pink tail for Wind Whistler. Thanks for looking!

My Mum came over at 10am to see the baby and I ploughed through some personal admin. Baby is smiling and laughing now. She's very cute and we are very proud of her. She's four months old and I'm beginning to look for a new job so I can go back to work.

I agree with Taffeta, but I know it's hard to clean without being sure there's no water inside. I'd say have you tried using absorbent cloths like baby wipes or a sponge so you don't need to dismantle? Also pinch the root of the tail between finger and thumb to stop water going in while washing. Also leave somewhere warm and with good air circulation to dry as quickly as possible after cleaning, any water inside should wick along the tail and outside by capillary action, hopefully before the tail ring can start to rust.
