Advice for a new pony

[Sarah-Bee]

Other than the Arena I get my pony info from Dream Valley and Strawberry Reef

When I first got back into MLP is was because I found old my childhood ponies in a massive cleaning out. I remembered how much I loved them, and since I totally had forgotten their names and everything about them I started researching the internet. And then suddenly I found that it was this whole community of MLP-lovers and even better - I could suddenly buy all the ponies I loved when I was a kid but never got a chance to buy. Mind you, I am thirty so my pony collection was G1s.

Anyway, my point is (trust me, I'm getting there!) maybe start with what got your interest back in the first place. If you have good memories of your G3, maybe that is the place to start? But like so many others have said already, starting with research is a good thing and even though it seems overwhelming at first you'll soon enough get the hang of it

From a more personal point of view, I can't see how anyone would not love the G1s though

To be honest Katrine 2309 with the G1s I always thought they were cute but didn't get it. Research helped but watching the show at the fair cemented a place in my heart.

Yes usually there will be a thread in the Corral started by a member picking one special pony to get lots of attention for the day...Just look for POTD or Pony of the Day in the title.

I used My Little Wiki and Strawberry Reef to find ponies. I also looked at ponies on eBay to find ones I liked.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?
I agree on the clicking pony peeps sigs to see what they have for sale on the arena... Yet another bump for checking out POTD, pony every day that you may not have known about.
Ask questions, we don't bite.
Don't be afraid to google stuff too, type in your question and add mlp arena on the end and we may have already answered something you're wondering about!

Yeah, all great advice - I ditto! Also, I would say that I am so excited to see another person rediscovering MLP!!!  It was awesome when I did, and I can say for myself and probably everyone here - that we welcome you and feel free to ask whatever! Glad to see you in the herd!
