Hello everyone!
I recently bought four much-wanted ponies from eBay for good prices. I could tell from the pictures that they were going to be dirty, but I wasn't expecting them to be as filthy as they turned out to be! I'll tell you though, it was lots of fun cleaning them up. I know a lot of you like to see before and after pictures, so here it goes!
BEFOREThese are the first three: the Bride, Surprise, and Medley. Bride came with her veil which is clearly a mess! I'm working on that now. Anyone got any tips on cleaning the veil? Anyway, as you can see, the ponies have visible dirt and messy hair.

AFTERI'm glad to say that all the ponies cleaned up well.
Medley. All I really had to do with her was scrub some scuffs and wash her hair. Even after a good wash, she somehow carries the scent of a new pony.
