Hello all

[Winds.of.Autumn]

Well, to start off, online, I go by Winds of Autumn or Windsong after my ponysona. I'm 29 years old with a 5 month old son & the best husband in the entire universe. I've collected ponies since I was 3 years old, but in an act of utter stupidity in my youth, I was pressured to give up my collection of over 200. Of course, I'm now trying to undo that mistake & get my collection back & then some. I'm a digital artist who loves to draw ponies, & I'm currently getting into making custom ponies & restoring my favorites who have seen better days!
I was born & raised in the vast woodlands of Arkansas, but I have moved into Missouri to be with my husband. We're currently trying to save up to get back to the country & purchase our forever home.
G1 ponies are my favorites followed by G3's & G4's. I hope to add a couple of G2's sometime in the future. I'm working with a few choice friends in Europe to expand both of our collections with exclusives, & so far, we've had nothing but fun looking for ponies to trade!
It will be nice to make even more fantastic pony loving friends, & I can't wait to get started! Thank you all for having me!

Welcome to the Arena, Winds.of.Autumn

Wow, you had a lot of ponies when you were little!  I am sure you will have a lot of success replacing some of those you still need now that you are here.  Feel free to take some pics and share them with us in the Brags forum if you like

Welcome, welcome! Your childhood collection sounds impressive, such a shame you had to give them away. Luckily ponies are often easy to replace.

Feel free to share your pony art in the Arts and Crafts forum!

Hi, Winds of Autumn! Welcome to the Arena!

Sorry to hear you were pressured into giving up your ponies, I had a similar thing happen to me with a good majority of my plush collection. I wish you the best of luck in getting your collection back up to size and growing it even more! I'd love to see your art sometime too, feel free to post it in the Arts & Crafts forum. Enjoy the forums!

Welcome to the Arena! What a great introduction. Its always a disappointment when we dont have out childhood collection, but I can tell you collecting as an adult and finding so many ponies you may never have heard of before is soooooo much fun! Enjoy the forums.

Welcome, welcome welcome!!

Wow!!! 200 is a lot of ponies.  I think there are quite a few of us who gave up our childhood collections and regretted it later.  Hope you have great luck in finding some of your ponies
