When selling/trading to another collector, it's comforting to know that the ponies will be loved in their new home and make someone happy. Still, the difficulty of it all depends on the personality of the pony. It's not that hard to part with a Skyflier or a Masquerade, since they are sure of themselves, or a princess, since I know princesses will be loved thanks to their charisma and manners. Many baby ponies are cheerful and flexible and usually adjust to their new environment in no time, as long as they are taken good care of. But I don't think I could ever let go of a Crumpet. She's a sensitive pony who needs stability and a loving home to nurture her confidence. Being adopted out may depress her.
