Sometimes, as hard as you try to do something, it just doesn't work. Today we have a very special pony. Well, special to me. I really like it when you tell me that a pony I restored was the same one you had a child. Well, this is my pony. Not the exact same my grandma gifted me when I was 5, but the one I could finally get after mine was lost a long, long time ago (Thank you Fabián!!). This was such a difficult video to make. I had to really push myself to finish it but I hope you can still enjoy it even if the results are a bit disappointing.
