Hi there!

[Anthea]

Hello everyone,

I'm Anthea (Susi irl), I'm 36 years old and I live in Belgium. In my working life I'm a psychologist and psychotherapist. I'm into Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and MLP I like reading, being creative, cooking, being with friends... I am in a relationship for 15 years now, but we have no kids yet.

As a child (growing up in the 80's) I already was a major MLP-fan. I had a collection of somewhat over 50 ponies. As I turned 15 years old, my parents convinced me I was too old to play with MLP and being a good obedient daughter I gave away most of my childhood ponies, my Dreamcastle playset and other pony stuff I had. But I kept 9 of the ponies as a childhood souvenir and I'm very lucky I still have them now. In my heart MLP never left me I guess.
Over the last couple of years, once or twice a year, I had a recurrent dream at night, where I was in a toystore, searching for My little ponies Finaly, a couple of months ago I started searching the internet for my childhood ponies, and the more I searched, the more I saw what a big hype MLP had become and how much grown up artist are creating the most beautiful pony artwork ever! I was amazed

My main goal at this point is to recollect my childhood G1 collection. And recently I bought some new G4's too, just because they are cute
I'm searching for information on how to restore some of my G1's. I have a beautiful and rare baby Honeycomb, but she needs rehairing as my little brother did cut them once... But I kept her since she was my very first pony

I collect some other pony stuff too now, mostly the series, movies and some puzzles.

So, let's get started reading all these interesting posts on this forum

Hugs,
Anthea (Susi)

Welcome, welcome. I'm still new, too. You can read for days and still have more! I love seeing the custom ponies. Such talent! It's a great community.

Welcome to the Arena

I'm sure you will amass a lot of hours of reading and drooling over ponies here

Good luck tracking down some of your old herd

Which ponies did you keep?

The ponies that I kept were Baby Honeycomb (Early Baby Pony), Coco Berry (Sundae Best Ponies), Tappy (Newborn Ponies), Sugar Sweet (Candy Cane Ponies), Majesty (Dreamcastle Playset Pony), Princess Pearl (Princess Ponies),  Flurry (Windy Wing Ponies) , Beachball (Sunshine Ponies) and Seashore   (Seahorse   Watercolour Baby Sea Ponies).

Most of them need a bit restyling since they were kept in a shoebox for so long.

I have a picture of them, but I can't figure out how to put it in this post 

Hugs,
Anthea

Sounds like you kept some lovely ones! To add pictures to your posts, you just have to use BBcode - do you have a photo-sharing account somewhere, like flickr or photobucket? Just upload your photos there and you'll be able to get the code directly from the "share" option on the photo you want to include in your post.

I use flickr, and so when I click to share a photo, it gives me a few different options for how to share it. When I want to post it here, I select the BBCode option, and just copy/paste the code that's given. flickr includes URL tags to make the photo a link once it's posted, but I like my photos to be flat images, so I always just delete the URL code once I've pasted, and keep only the IMG code. I hope that made sense! There is a photobucket tutorial somewhere on the Arena as well, if you use that.
