Who was your very first pony?

[Skeen]

SS Buttons!  My very first girl is proudly displayed in my pony room, complete with her missing flocking, straight limp hair, red nail polish stains, and endless memories of our adventures together.

[Glitzi86]

Sparkler was my first pony. Bought it 1986 here in Germany where she was called "Glitzi" (hence the name ) - my parents let me pick the numbers for the lottery and we did win about the amount to buy a MLP.  The beginning of a wonderful friendship ...

With her best friend Heart Throb ("Herzliebchen", who moved in shortly after Glitzi) and my favourite pony fashion (bought in the Netherlands).

She has a very nice eye line, since I used make-up for some ponys and dolls on one carnival event but forgot to remove it in the evening - that's what happens when you go to bed with your make-up on, folks! You'll stay that way forever!   
The trace of nail polish on her hoof is from the Poof'n Puff Perfume Palace though. Apparently not fully removeable.
But I love her no matter what. Like Skeen said, memories of our adventures.

Mine was G3 Island Delight.
I was in middle school at the time and somehow I had no idea up until that point that My Little Pony had ever made toys even though it had been my favorite show for as long as I can remember. *glares at mother* So I was absolutely giddy when I saw My Little Ponies in KB toys.

My first G1 purchase was actually a group of G1s and a carry case I bought from emery on ebay as Christmas present to myself. I totally cried when I got them. lol. I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. They're like the "childhood" ponies I never had and I've kept all of them.

My first pony was Lickety Split as a birthday present from my grandparents in 1985.
I always thought it was 84 until I found out it was a year later recently.

My first pony was Honeycomb  hence why I am on the pony hunt for her  I remember getting her as a present from one of my Aunt's friends. I loved her so much. She will be mine, oh yes, she will!  hahahahahaha

That's cool!

G1 Baby Cotton Candy.
A gift from my aunt, as my parents couldn't afford ponies.

I was delighted (even if i would have preferred baby Surprise)

I never had a 'first pony' since I was given my older cousin's collection when she outgrew them. I think there were about 10 but I can only vaguely remember (Gypsy, Majesty, Confetti, Honeycomb and Strawberry Fair are the only ones I clearly remember but I know there were more). When I was about 13 my cousin had two little girls of her own who were the age I was when she gave them to me so I gave them back. Sadly they were thrown out at some point (I sincerely hope 'thrown out' equates to 'sent to charity shop'.)

Then four years ago I was feeling a bit down in the dumps so decided I'd try and look up the ponies I had from what I could remember. I never knew their names and just gave them my own names. One pony I really really wanted to find was 'Max', my favorite of the little herd. As it turned out, Max was actually Gypsy. I found one on ebay and bought her. So, as an adult Gypsy was my first pony

Sadly, she was accedintly left at the McDonalds playground.  I recieved Heartthrob as a replacement and was taught how to braid her tail.  Unfortunately, Hearthrob went missing later, possibly stolen.  I still have the rest of my childhood herd, roughly 30 ponies between my sister and myself.

I really wish I could remember who my first pony was. I know it was one of a few: Majesty, Peachy, Baby Cotton Candy, or SS Lofty.

The earliest pony buying memory I have was when I got SS Lofty. I found her at a Salvation Army store when I was 4 or 5 years old (so this must have been like in 1989). I had to have her and gave her a special spot on my headboard that night. I can't recall if I already had the other aforementioned ponies when I bought her or if she was my first one.

Skydancer - the rainbow pony (not the summer wing)

[Sarah-Bee]

When I was a kid my first was Cherries Jubilee and like the OP I don't even know where she came from

When I started collecting again in 2003 my first was Cotton Candy

[ponytales]

I think my very first pony was Cuddles (or Teddi, as she was known in the UK). I wore out her magic message symbol, I do remember that!

I don't remember ever buying ponies as a child,  it's more like they were just *there* while I was growing up!
