Identify this Cotton Candy pony?? UPDATED

[cassstorm]

I have had several brownish cotton candy ponies theoughout time, but none this color.. always before i could tell it was from age etc.. any guru I can send to for an exam? Lol.. as long as i get her/him back !

I agree that the color does not look like typical aging, I live in Ohio, wonder if we are close... if so I could look at her that way she doesn't leave your hands, lol   Or if you want to come to the Ohio meet that we have in summer there will be several experienced collectors to take a look at it for you.

There is an Ohio meet?!?!
And I live in the middle lol, Ashland

I know some of the white ponies suffer from sunburn when over exposed to UV light. I seem to remember a photo of a very brown Gingerbread somebody was sunfading and forgot about.

But on the other hand, I don't think sun damage would penetrate to the inside of the pony. Maybe she suffered heat damage but that would probably have warped her somehow.

Oh! I just had a thought! Perhaps she was played with as a pool toy? That could account for the thorough bleaching of the hair and its brittle texture, as well as the color change in the plastic. Chlorine is strong stuff. Or maybe she was subject to a full on bleach bath?

There are certainly many possibilities!

We are about 2 hours apart... the Ohio pony meet has been going since 2005 or 2006, something like that... Last year was skipped but is planned for this year   It's near Cincinnati...

The picture of her feet, the N in "pending", that's not a paint fleck or anything I assume?

I was wondering all that too, but that tail plug is throwing me off...didn't someone in this thread say they found one like that in a fakie? Which type of fakie was it?

Upon close inspection I see that the tail and mane color and quality are different so at some point the tail could have been replaced inside the pony.
Its one of the things that has been itching at me.. Both tail and mane should be in similar condition and similar color.

Someone please let me know when the Ohio meets comes!!
Not sure on the N, i will look tomorrow 
Yes, the hair is more staw like in the mane, and tail is not.
