weirdest place to find a pony: Merry Treats on the dumpster behind the apartment complex I lived in a the time.Weirdest thing to find in a pony: the pot stash in Munchy that I'm trying to permanently de-stink
I dug one up! No, literally, I found one in buried in the ground when I was helping my sister dig a garden at her new house. She took forever to clean up and still has a cut on her hind hoof from where the shovel hit her, but I wouldn't change a thing about her.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAfter clean up:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe looks pretty good except for the cut from the shovel. I thought about fixing it with apoxie & repaint but I think it gives her character so I left it.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
About ten years ago I was walking in Brooklyn and I saw a plastic bag in the dirt next to the sidewalk. As I got closer I peered at it and saw colored hair- couldn't be right? I opened the bag out of curiosity and it was-there were three ponies inside! Baby Quackers, Baby Glory with the dragon suit on, and Baby Leaper with his bandana and mint, spiral curls. Luckiest find EVER. There were a few stoop sales going on (tiny "yard sale" on a front stoop) earlier in the day that had ended, so they must have came from one of those. I'll never forget that!
I have loads of awesome memories of carbooting with my sister between about 1995 (when we discovered MLP was not in stores any more) and 2000. My sister was almost 8 when we began carbooting, and small, cute and very clever. So she was always getting things given to her for free. Especially dragons. But we were a hunting team. I remember one carboot sale, she spotted Lightning and Princess Pearl, 2 ponies I had been desperate for since a child. She literally threw her arms around the box and LAY on it so nobody else could get to them first. I still remember her screeching "Princess Pearl and Lightning!" at the TOP of her voice.So my Pearl and Lightning are thanks to my sister. At that time there was another collector around, and she was at the stall at the same time as we were. Thus Naynie's antics. But because of that, the other collector (who was a brat) got an Italian Heart Throb from the stall. Naynie was in love with Heart Throb at that time, and she wasn't sold in the UK, so finding her here in any form was very unusual. This brat collector waved Heart Throb in her face, and my sister wound up in floods of tears.So. Roll on to 1998, and this collector sold up all her ponies (or left them to her Dad to sell) at the carboot sale. And believe me, I went through every single box to find that Heart Throb.Naynie now owns her. Although she has a regular HT as well, now, and a Baby one, that one is special, as she was her reward for Pearl and Lightning that day .The other weird story also involves my sister. We were on holiday in Wales, and on the beach we found a stranded starfish. We wanted to help it, so we got our bucket and spade and put it in the bucket and took it out to sea. I don't know if we managed to save it, but we tried. Before we put it out into the sea, Naynie named it. She called it "Barnacle" because he was her favourite boy pony, and she didn't have one yet.That weekend, when we came home, Barnacle was at the Car Boot sale, with his hat and bandana. He is really in excellent condition, his hair still curly. He's also now part of Naynie's pony herd. He's the only boy pony I don't have myself, because, honestly, I can't beat the starfish karma
