Hello, just call me Ash Pine for now.

I used to think of myself as a peculiar person. I will warn you, I am a bit strange. But, still a caring person. I cherish my friends more then gold. Like most of the mlp people, I like horses in general.

When I was younger, I played with mlp's with my favorite cousin, Sarah. She was spoiled and had more then I did. But she grew out of them before I did, and when her mom had a yard sale, I attacked the pony bins and got all the one's I didn't have as a child.

I grew up in a home with loving parents. They are still married to eachother. My mother was very relaxed in her housework, and I followed those manners, I wouldn't say I'm messy, I still know where everything is.. but it's not put away neatly. I am also a packrat!

I grew up on a farm. A small personal farm. We had 13 acres out in the middle of no where. We had a horse (Quarter Horse), chickens (about 50), cattle (7 total), dogs (all labs or lab mixes), cats (barn cats, strays), rabbits (2 does, 1 buck), Guinea Hens (about 10), and turkeys. Our animals were just for fun, or for food for our family only. Yes, I ate my own 'pets'. But I knew ahead of time, that was what we got them for. Tho I never named them names like Hamburger or Beef Stew. We were 5 miles from the nearest paved road, and nice neighbors with 300+ acres, so I had plenty of area to ride my horse.

After High School, I experienced some hard times. I call it my past life, a part of me that I don't wish to recognize most of the time. I had big dreams as a kid, and I don't say they have been shattered, but they are dramatically slowed down. I lived those things that we all said as teenages... "That will never happen to me".

About 4 years ago I met the man of my dreams, he has been great. My daughter loves him, like he was her own father. She does not know any different at this point, as she is only 4, and he's the only man that she has seen in her life. When the right time comes, she will know, but not right now. My man and I have been engaged for 6 months now, hopefully, soon we will get to get married, lol. We just want a house of our own, and all that before we get hitched.

When I found out that I was pregnant for my daughter, I knew at once she was a girl, I never was told by her ultra-sound. Anyway, as we were making her nursery, I wanted her to love horses from the start. My mom repainted my room, and I painted mlp's on the walls. When she was about 2 years old, she found BBE Baby Sundance in my old toy box. She carried it everywhere, loved her more then her other toys. This is when I pulled out the box of my childhood memories. I showed them all to her, and she would put them in her baby buggy and push them around. At that time we had a total of 40 ponies.

Over the years, I have traded, sold, and purchased ponies, so she could have them. She was always monitored when she played with them, the crayons, markers, and scissors where hidden as she played with them. And now, she knows that she wants to keep them nice. Now we have about 200 ponies. I have not done a count in about a year, but they all fit in a large rubbermaid tub.
