My introduction!
« on: April 10, 2015, 11:23:10 AM »
 Hello everyone,
 I'm new to the site but not new to loving My Little Ponies! As a young girl I lost my father, it was around the same time that the first ponies were being released. I was immediately drawn to them and they were of great comfort to me during a very difficult time. Like a warm blanket, I think it was in their soulful eyes.
 I had so many ponies as a girl, all sorts of accessories, I would race to the toy store to buy more the second I had my allowance in my hand! I was never rough with them, they were mostly just on display around my bedroom. I would occasionally brush the dust out of their manes but that was it. Over the years, I grew up and grew out of my favorite childhood toy. My once cherished childhood collection was lost, probably sold at a family yard sale. That is what brings me here today, I am trying to rebuild what I once had, to start a new collection and feel that same comfort that My Little Pony brought me so long ago. My absolute favorite Pony always has been Butterscotch and I am determined to be reunited with her again!! Thanks for reading, I hope to meet more people who feel the same way I do about My Little Pony!!!!

Welcome to the Arena! :hug: Best of luck finding what you're looking for, we have a wide selection in the sales forum so I have a feeling you will not only find what you've lost but get a couple more on the way ;) And once you do, please share pictures in the Brags forum, we love seeing others' collections! :biggrin:

I had only one pony, sweet stuff. I wanted it back, that I lost when I was little. Also wanted to buy some more ... And I bought about 20 ponies
Maybe the translation is not good, I'm translating through google translator

:newpony: Welcome to the Arena.  Hugs, I had the same thing happen to me, but instead of ponies (which where not created yet) I collect Breyers, so horses helped me like ponies helped you.  Have fun rebuilding your pony herd.

Thanks to SdS for my avie

Hello, ctgreyhound! Welcome to the Arena!

I'm glad that ponies were able to help you through your struggle, they've helped me through a few as well. We have a large sales forum full of ponies needing homes, and I believe butterscotch is pretty common. You'll have her again in no time! Enjoy the forums!

Ponies can be so helpful during rough times huh? They helped me a lot too! :hug:
I'm sure you will be able to find many of your childhood collection here!

Judging by your username, do you perhaps have a greyhound?

Welcome to the arena and thank you for sharing that deeply personal story.

I'm so glad ponies were able to bring you that comfort and joy. I hope you're able to find all your collection again and then some :lovey:

 :biggrin: They are the best dogs!! I would have a house full if I could. It's funny before I got my boy I never saw Greyhounds around or met anyone who owned one, now I run into people who have houndies on the regular!!
