I second that vinegar is great for dissolving rust, plus it is good for treating mould. I also recommend Milton/baby steriliser tablets in extreme cases i.e. actual live fungus!  However acids like vinegar may make certain hair colours unstable like yellow chartreuse and red. I'd be interested to hear if you get any dye changes with strong colours.

How do you use the steriliser tablets on a rusty tail? Do you make a paste of the tablet or soak the tail in a solution? I've got some tablets and a pony in need of a clean. I think there may be more than rust in her tail

No.1 on list: Do not look at ponies for sale when bored! Financial ruin is assured(!).

Short term goal is to clean my 'new' ponies and get a couple of G3 ponies. I've only got one and she needs a few friends like her. Also G3s are cheaper and I want(need?) to save money to spend on non-pony things I want and also get some stands for my sea ponies so they don't look tragic and I need money for that too.

I want to sort out my pony shelves to work out how much room I've got left for ponies as I'm limited both by space and budget, alas. I already have a list of ponies I want and it'd help me cross off the ponies under '?' which I'll probably end up ignoring, and get anyway before getting all the must haves, lol.

More specifically I want a pony with a cat symbol, probably the HQG1C one otherwise Baby Katie. I think Pink Dreams is rare? I'm waiting on post to fulfil my goal of getting a pale green pony. Love Ice Crystal, but out of my price range.

I want to continue adding different Applejacks to my collection. I need to make a list of the ones I need. The one I'm most interested in getting is the UK collectors pose.

Good luck! I hope you can get a cheap deal on shipping!

Nothing specific aside from obtaining Desert Palm. Aside from that I'd like to find more G1/G3 ponies in the wild!

Good luck! I want Desert Palm too, but she isn't top of my G3 list.

Okay, and get more mountain boys. That is my grail set, has been forever. And I just got my very first one ever and he's beautiful and I'm even more in love now. <3

They are lovely, happy hunting!

One experience I had was when my grandma was so nice and had thought of me and got some ponies for me from the flea market, I decided to wash them especially this little G3 McDonalds pony because she felt a little grubby. Well, I started rinse her and all her hair fell out! It looked like whoever owned her cut the hair and then attempted to glue it back on?! I ended up popping the head off and removing the little bits that were left. I was going to re-hair her but I wasn't quite sure how to so she's still bald 

I've got a G2 McDonald's Ivy toy and when I started washing the tail most of it came out. I have G3 Cloud Dancer and the plastic strip the mane is attached to is sticking out at the bottom. I don't think the toys are very well made!

Aw, she's so cute! I love her facial expression.

Thank you! I was aiming for happy!

That is so adorable, I bet she will look great hanging up

Thank you! She is spreading Christmas cheer to my herd

Just delightful!! 

Aw, thank you!

So cute! The flowers in her hair are a nice touch.

Thank you! I was lucky to have some flower sequins to hand

You are so talented

Thank you! I spent time staring at pics of the Butterick originals to get a feel to how they made theirs.

She looks great!

Thank you for saying so

Oh this is just precious!   

Aw, I'm glad you think so!

Super cute!

Thank you! Cuteness for Christmas!

Love it

Thank you for the <3 

What fun! This made me smile.

My pleasure! I'm glad it brought a smile to you

I don't own any G2 babies, but I really want one and she's a cutie!

One for next year! I see her a lot in insta posts one after the other it's like she's doing loads of activies in a day, she should work for Santa
