Who played the role of the males in your childhood herd?

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Tex and Wigwam of course. Speedy and Bow Tie where my two cannon females that I changed up. Mostly to fit the stories I made up and diversify my herd.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one that did that.

Mine were the ones that I took the scissors to! LOL 

[Lorelei Redfern]

i never had any boys so Kingsley  and   Sparkler(diamond)  were hte boys in my little herd.

[Marlin]

So Soft Shady. I guess I considered her pose a bit macho. So 'she' ended up being the boy pony 

[Navi]

Wigwam (who was actually a "boy" pony) and Mainsail. I was surprised when I grew up and looked her up online, and found out she wasn't a boy

[Salli]

I never had big brother ponies either (which is why I love them so much now ) and first I had this scary, cheap horse toy that was the boy, then it was TE Sky Rocket and then Firefly and Medley after my baby sister cut their manes off.

[Skeen]

Barnacle and Chief.  And I think a set of twins was male (Jangles/Tangles?).  I didn't gender swap.  But I also stayed pretty true to the TV show, so I never needed or wanted boys much.  My ponies didn't have families and didn't get married. 

[Galactica]

Bow Tie (don't ask me why) and Minty- 

[Star Spark]

It's funny that other people made Shady one their "boys", too- I didn't even know the "real" names of most of my ponies, let alone the existence of Big Brothers, so Shady was renamed Sunglasses (because I was so creative) and became the male counterpart to Lofty ("Balloons")- I think they were my first two So Softs. Quackers (whose real I name I actually did know somehow) was also a boy, and Baby Sunribbon, whom I got immediately after most of my other ponies were sold, I also considered a male (it gave a nice mix to my remaining ponies- female Pony Bride and Baby Moondancer plus "male" Quackers and the new baby.)

I grew up with G3s, and for some reason just accepted that there were no true males.

Instead, I made a few ponies androgynous. That I can remember, Star Dasher (who ended up being a couple with Gem Blossom), Seaspray (coupled with Waterfire), and Peri Winkle. (That pose always struck me as gender neutral)

Other than that, a bunch of my pony couple were just both girls, like Kiwi Tart and Beachberry, Amberlocks and Desert Rose, and Tulip Twinkle and Fancy Free.

I got in a lot of trouble for that, actually...

[Heartcease]

I had all sorts of pony families when I was little, and I may still pair them off when I buy new ones.  Maybe   Of the ones I had, Moondancer, Moonstone (and Moondancer and Moonstone were brothers), Medley, Lemon Drop, Butterscotch, Minty, Bowtie, Bubbles, Glory (I later got a second one, and I had a lady Glory too), Sunbeam, Sunlight, Windy, Sky Dancer, I had a Majesty couple, Tootsie (because of Tootsie Pop, how could he not be a Dad?), Sparkler, Powder, Sea Mist, North Star, Masquerade, Napper, Sky Rocket, and I had a Sunny Bunch couple.  All of them had a wife, but I was always disappointed I couldn't have babies for every family.  Baby Glory, Moondancer, and Bows were boys too.

Similar to Marigold, all of my ponies were girls. I don't know if that's because I knew about the Big Brothers and so knew none of mine were supposed to be boys, or just because I just never thought about "needing" any boys.

This for me too. All the ponies were girls and it never really occurred to me that there would be a need or requirement for there to be any boy ponies at all.

[YellowCat]

The only real boy I had growing up was Tux N Tails after my cousin have him to me.  At the time I didn't know he was really a boy, but because he was bigger than all the other ponies and I called him Bow Tie.  Sparkle Sky Rocket (Rocket), Daisy Sweet (named Tom), Pretty Beat (Cal), and Masquerade were boys too.  Masquerade was a bit of a hermaphrodite in that sometimes she was girl (Mardi Gras) or a boy (Bandit) depending on how many boys were needed. 

Of my baby ponies Hearts N Dots (Bob), Sparkle North Star (Saturn), Wiggles (Wormy), Cuddles (Rattle), and Rattles and Tattles were boys.  I had Ribbs too, his name was Dragon but I didn't play with him much after my neighbor boy tried to cut his nose off with pocket knife scissors- thankfully he didn't succeed.

I didn't really know there were boy ponies because I didn't see the cartoon they were in until was much older and most of my ponies were given to me when I was too young to read the brochures.  There were also a lot of ponies I acquired second hand or as hand me downs.

Same here, Thunderwing, SS Magic Star was my boy

[Starblaze]

For me, TE Galaxy was always cast as the boy... by my older sister. (S)he was my favorite, but my sis would get all huffy if I didn't play with them her way, so of course I did as she told me to lol!
