Show me your worst!! ( but loved ponies )

OMGoodness...what on earth happened to Starflower...how does a unicorn loose her horn!?

I imagine either it would be chewed off, or bent down until the vinyl tore off.

Bless her little socks...at last she has an amazing home now with Kiwi though.

Maybe the Firefly I found in an Op shop.. Who has a big glue line down the NDS, who has pink marks everywhere and has a bit of hair frizz. C:

Prince Primbrose, I have a few ponies that are headless, hairless and sitting in the sun at the moment. It's funny to think that all over the world, abused/neglected ponies are sun bathing together lol

Kiwi, just wow! I don't think you could have found a much worse pony.

PinkRosedust Wow it's like two totally different ponies right there!

sailorstitch - I love Cloud Puff and have yet to see her available without regrind. Do regrind ponies ever go totally a different color? Italian Parasol is lovely, even with haystack hair lol

I finally got to taking off Wind Drifter's head... pulled out all her hair and have her taped up and sun bathing.

I do have a few more, less traumatic ones here with me 
Bad haircut, though I would love to rehair with some glow in the dark if I could find some.

And a factory error? Only one row of plugs compared to the 2 rows in most ponies... and some rust in her tail.

I don't think I could pass up any pony in any condition if I found them at yard sales or flea markets.  Bleeding heart and I'm proud of it!

I got a Gingerbread in a lot of some "kind of okay ponies" and she is my favorite flawed pony. Of course she's not white but has turned that browned tan color that Gingerbread always seems to have, but I actually like that better because it's more cookie-like and it totally suits her! Later I noticed that her previous owner had sliced her mouth open and at first I was upset, but then I realized that she can hold stuff. I stuck a quarter in her mouth so right now she looks like an adorable tipping pony, but I have other things that she can hold too. Last year I set her out with the Christmas decorations, so when I do it again I'm going to give her some holly or mistletoe to hold.

I'm a bait collector, so I've got lots of ponies in all kinds of conditions. Cancer, regrind, horrible hair, paint scratches/rubs, stains, missing tails, haircuts. I love it all. G1s missing tails are my absolute favorite, and I adore haircuts in general.

One of my favorite ponies in my Moonstone. He (and a large chunk of my G1s) were given to me by a stranger when I first joined the arena. I loved him from the moment I pulled him out of the box and I wouldn't ever change a single thing about him. He looks worse in real life than in these photos.

Baby Firefly is another one of my absolute favorites. He's missing the inside of one eye, has paint rub/scratches, is very stained and dirty, and has lots of scratches on his body (like he was dragged across pavement). For a long time I carried him with me everywhere in my pocket. Now he's our designated travel pony and gets to look out the windows and see the sights instead of being trapped in a bag.

Oh boy, I have a bunch of beaten-up ponies to list here, heh! I love me some well-loved ponies! And I don't even have pics of half of them...!

Oh, here's one! This is Quackers! She came to me in a bait lot, she's completely off-white, her eyes are scuffed all to heck, her hair is a frizzed, chopped mess ... and I still love her! I was thinking I might rehair her all in white, then I changed my mind, and I haven't come up with a better idea yet. xD Maybe pastel rainbows?

One of my saddest babies!! No mane, tail, symbols, or even eyes!! And she has some kind of weird glue up and down her side? No known solvent has been able to remove it!

One of my most-beloved "baits," ever - he pretty much started my Baity Brother Rescue Fraternity! I originally passed him over at the MLPFair, since he was 'too spotty' (age spots aaaall over his body, including his face! Hence the creative shot to try and mask them) and too expensive for a bait pony - and then my family went back and bought him for me! It was so, so sweet, he's held a special place in my heart ever since.

Some of the worst-off members of the Fraternity! And one rehaired with a super-long tail!

TASTE THE RAINBOW?!

I think that last photo is the first time my jaw has literally dropped open while looking at pony pics. Her...her wings!?!

Um, excuse you!! This pony is super-rare and useful! Why? Because she has already been de-winged, making her already partially-prepped for extra-large wings to be sculpted on her!

(At least, that's what the seller told me. And then charged me double her usual 'bait' price. And then later went rooting through my bag because she thought I had lifted a pony from her table without paying ... or maybe she was trying to sneak back this SUPER RARE WAZOO FANCY PONY!!! suddenly it all makes sense!!)

(PS, here's an extra photo, just for you! She loves Starburst - but did you know that she also has the music inside of her? No no, not some silly 'music in her soul' nonsense, I mean LITERALLY inside of her chest cavity!)

I. . .

That is the most bizarre bait-buying story and reason to chop up a pony I have ever heard.

Yeah, it was pretty surreal. I don't think she chopped up the pony herself, I think the wings were salvaged to make another pony custom and then sold as bait ... but now that you mention it ... O_O;;;

Many ponies in my collection have been loved.

sun will make her look pretty white again...

Watch your drinks, someone's knocking out ponies and stealing their wings to sell on black market!!!

Haha, thanks everyone. I'm guessing her horn was cut off - probably with her hair. There are a couple bite marks too... but she was found in a house that raised 2 boys (no girls that I know of) so I suspect they did as boys do.

This is my Sweet Pop  .  I found her in the thrift store  back around '10 I think.They were about to chunk her. Luckily for me, I kinda "stole" her from them

Because of the flash setting, you can't see her scuffed eyes, age spots, and messed up eyelashes. However, I LOVE blue ponies, so I will never upgrade to a  better one :3

She's used  to be very moldy and rusty on the inside, glad I cleaned her out just in time!
