Sunshine Challenge Day 5

Prompt 5: Goldenrod
Historically, Goldenrod has been used as a symbol of good fortune, growth, and encouragement. Because of its ability to survive in diverse, harsh environments, Goldenrod represents good luck and a pioneering spirit (pretty fitting given its origins in the meadows and pastures of North America).

I wasn't sure what to do with this prompt, but then I remembered you all liked the My Little Pony restoration I posted last year, so here is another one!  The creator has been off YouTube recently, so I was so nice to see them posting videos again, and Applejack has golden hair, so it fits the prompt!  Also, did everyone know that Applejack was a girl pony?  I don't why, but when I think back I always thought Applejack as a boy pony, so I was very surprised to find out it was the opposite today.  Anyways, enjoy:

New Pony Restoration Video, yay! :D Awesome. I can't believe I'm finding this so relaxing, haha. And the struggle with the tool (awl? bodkin?) is so real!!

Their videos are so relaxing to watch. They really had trouble with the rehairing tool this time, normally that is the one thing they don't have any problems with. I'm happy you enjoyed the vid!

Yay!

This was really cool to watch, thanks.

Re: Yay!

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!

That's a fun video to watch. I didn't know how much went into the restoration of the toys and making them ready again to hopefully be played with or otherwise admired and possibly handled some. I'd hate for it to be just there for the view.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The creator has said previously that they either keep them and display them for their own collection (if they bought the pony), return them to their owner (if they were given to her to restore) or she finds a new home for them. One year they auctioned off a custom pony to help the people of Ukraine.

I freaking love these videos so much. Plus, AppleJack is definitely a pioneering spirit, so she fits both the color scheme and more!

I forgot about pioneering spirit, that fits so well. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
