Pony horror stories

[Shiromisa]

The worst thing that happened to me was accidentally chopping off an inch of pony hair opening a bubble mailer with scissors 

A lesson was learnt that day, and I had to sell the pony on to someone who was able to rehair her and I bought another

I've done something similar. I left a nick in a pony opening with a knife.

Auuuuugh, these are literally my worst fears! D: I hold my breath opening mailers and boxes.

New one: last night, I found MICE TEETH MARKS in a chocolate candy lying on my nightstand RIGHT next to my favorite favorite G1 pony! ;-; I checked the pony over and she seems to have escaped unscathed, but gah my heart stopped for a second.

I'm surprised that stealing and destroying other people's property flies in your office.

Ditto. As well as blackmailing. If you have video (or other) proof of who did it, I would have pressed charges with the police.

Well as i said the woman was higher up than me.. and there was a large ammount of racism in the office. I tried to complain but thats what almost got me canned for infighting.
I no longer work at this place (THANK GOD) and i have met the woman a few times in public and told her what i think.
She had me over a barrel and knew it.
The really stupid thing?
I wasnt even INTERESTED in the guy she was after.. yah she was trying to get me away from a guy i didnt even LIKE!
ugh.. NEVER work for ACS or XEROX

Baby Racer and his bandana "falling out" of his envelope when he was on his way to me in the post I still think of that little guy lost out there in the postal wilderness...

I accidently ran over Gypsy with the front door when I came home one day. O_o
She'd somehow managed to slip out of her package when the postie had stuffed her through the letterbox & she was lying on the doormat.
Thankfully she wasn't damaged, but I nearly had a heart attack when I saw her there. 

Oh, & as a kid I buried some of my childhood G2s in the front garden for no apparent reason.
My mum dug them up years later & threw them away.
WHY OH WHY WAS I SO STUPID.

One day while I was at work, my ex-husband invited his friends over...one of his friends brought a puppy...and the puppy chewed up my SS Best Wishes   Came home to four men looking like little boys who'd gotten caught with their hands in the cookie jar when they had to show me the poor pony.

A horror story about a pony that was just joining my collection...when I was first starting my MLP collection, I found quite a few of them at the flea market.  One of the ones I brought home was a tail-less Baby Sticky.  I was washing her up when a foul smell started coming from her tail hole.  Someone, at some point in time, had thought it would be funny to stuff her full of DOG POOP.  At least, I think it was dog poop.  I HOPE it was dog poop, and not other kinds of poop.

I was breathing through my mouth to avoid smelling it and telling myself all the while, "I love ponies, I love ponies..." while trying to get the horrid poop out, and hoping my parents wouldn't walk into the bathroom and ask about it...

My dog Mocha stole the most pristine Italy Trickles from the bottom pony shelf and ate one of her legs, I actually found this pony at a flea market in Germany on my first trip there, so it had special meaning to me. He also got ahold of a FF Cotton Candy and another baby. Now my new dog Jack enjoys the ponies too, he tried to steal a Firefly when I was cleaning them earlier today... I will be happy when puppy stage is over lol.

Loki(puppy) is NOT allowed in my art studio( where i keep my ponies and laptop) i love the lil m onster but i dont trust him yet.

I had so many ponies when I was little....I think about 60...yeah for a kid that is a lot. Well I was forced to box them up and put them in the attic...I got to keep 6 of them....years later when I wanted to collect again I searched and searched for that box. My mom told me that they looked gross and she threw them out in the trash....I lived on a farm so they were burned...yup about 50 some G1 ponies burned in a fire....Swirly Whirly and Milky Way are two of them....sigh someday I will have them.

I totally know what you mean here. Nearly the exact think happened to me.

When I first read your issue, I thought the pony hostages must be some kind of joke, like a harmless office prank.  I'm very territorial and don't like it when people mess with my stuff for any reason, but if it had really all been in good innocent fun, I would have held back my annoyance and gone along with it just so people wouldn't think I was a stick-in-the-mud and overprotective of my plastic horses.  But since it was actually a real threat . . . yeah, I would have had to sit on my hands to keep from decking her.  It's unbelievable that you were the one who got in trouble, just because that (w)itch outranked you.  Office politics can be truly horrible; sorry you had to go through this.

Well, me and my mother were trying to straighten my Luna's hair (we had straightened Pinkie Pie's earlier at 330 and it actually worked)
And while I got Luna ready, my mother was straightening her own hair at 450 and I came in and we started straightening
And...she burned a whole section of Luna's hair. Thank goodness for ponytails! It's her new signature style!

When I was a child in the 80's we had to move and could not take very much with us as my mom couldn't afford to rent a truck. I had to box up every. single. toy I owned except for one teddy bear I'd had since birth (still have him!). ALL of my toys were given away or thrown away. I was 7 years old. It was so horrible to me at the time. I didn't understand what was going on, my grandmother had just died and I was losing my home. I think that's why I have such a hard time letting things go now. I'm such a terrible pack rat! It's so sad to read everyone's stories, but the beauty of ponies is that they are always waiting for you somewhere. You just have to find them again!

A lesson learnt from the most horrific thing (and it isn't really horrific). I am TERRIBLE at cutting pony hair. I now own a 4-rowed skint, shortish haired (like a longer bob) Dewdrop Dazzle. (she rocks it.)
Story is my Dewdrop came with terrible frizzed hair, but only at the ends. I tried to cut them off, and now the tail is frizzy all over (was, really, it's fixed-ish now. I guess DD is notorious for frizzy hair though) and she has her hair like that. It makes for some fun hair-style sessions though.
