"Holy Grail" Ponies

For me my Grail Pony wouldn't be any specific type of Pony but rather one Particular Pony that alas, I will never see again.

Years ago my brother Ken bought me a Minty for graduation. It was 1984. I had other Ponies, but I adored my brother so, knowing this huge Marine went into the toy store while on leave and bought a girl's toy for me, then had it in the bunkhouse with him (he said he got a lot of ribbing from his fellow Marines) just made her all the more special. I would carry her in my purse or crammed in a pocket with me. She went to college with me, got married with me. She was on the bedside table when I had my son. When my husband died I carried her with me everywhere as comfort. Minty literally was my best friend and confidant.

Then I moved, and she was carefully packed into one of those huge tubs with about 200 others. Why I didn't just keep her with me I don't know, but I was afraid in the rush to move I would lose her. Worse though... someone stole the tub off my porch as we went back and forth to the moving van with the boxes. Minty was lost forever.

I still get teary thinking about my Minty. I could get another, but she wouldn't be the same grand dame. And sadder yet, Kenneth is gone as well. Weirdly enough, today is the actual anniversary of his dying, on my birthday. I like to think he has Minty with him, waiting for me. I know that sounds rather mad, but she had a life of her own and I still miss her.

I can't ever replace that, so that's why Minty is my Grail.



Man, what a depressing post. Sorry!

HUGS FOR EVERYONE!

No doubt your sweet Minty is w your loved ones.
Tho.. when you reunite w them.. I don't think she'll
be just a little toy anymore - she'll be full size and you can ride
her anywhere anytime.
Whoever stole your ponies is hateful.

My Grail ponies tend to be Unicorns.
Starhopper.. at any given time I have at least 2 Star Hoppers.
But my interest seems to go from this n that.
From Twinkle Eyes to TAFs.. I love em all!

But.. here lately.. I've been really wanting a Mountain Boy!
In particular - Tornado or Lightning~
Aw man.. I drool even thinking about having Tornado in my hands!

Such handsome guys :)
 
Mine is the Drink 'n Wet Baby Ponies
Any of the Princess Ponies
Also the Windy Wing Pony Cool Breeze
And the rare brazilian Milky Way

And I'm complaining about losing only 16 or so that I wasn't paying a lot of attention to at the time...

My grail has always been Gingerbread, I always regretted never getting her and never thought I would ever have her. I would think of her every now and then and wish I did have her. When my son came to me a couple weeks ago and admitted he liked the newest generation of ponies, he got me thinking about mine again, to the point I dug the rest of mine out of storage, got them cleaned up, found these sights online, and now I am back collecting ponies again. Then I get a message from my sister saying I am not allowed to buy any twinkle eye ponies. When she came home this weekend, she told me she bought me a bunch of them for me for Christmas, including Gingerbread.
 
Holy Grails are ponies that you want the most and are willing to take care of her FOREVERZ

@evilbunnyfoofoo Im so sorry! I hope she will comeback to you!

My grail would be G1 July Waterlily. Otherwise a UK MLP Tales Melody/Patch/Clover
 
Is it possible to have more than one or two grails? Because I can probably think of at least 5 off the top of my head. :CJ:
