This month I'm going to do my giveaway a little different than I normally would. I will be giving away 30 show ponies for the 30 days of April. Here's how it will run I will post 30 clues below. The first person to answer each clue right gets the pony associated to that day/number. At that point you have 3 days to pick up your pony. If by Sunday there are clues that haven't been answered I will raffle off the remaining ponies using the random number generator.
I ask that you only enter once per account and include your ID number.
