  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  I thought that people generally thought of ponies as grumpy and irascible. At least, people who own horses do.

  Yeah, but I thought that people recognised by now that ponies are kind of jerks? Not all of them, but they're ornery little beasts. Minature and regular-sized horses are way more chill.

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  "ponies are kind and gentle" is something widely assumed by everyone who has no experience with ponies.
  
  anyway, yeah, ponies are wimpy and girly and lacking in MANLINESS

  Draught horses are kind and gentle and huge. Ponies will kick you in the 'nads, just because.

  "I always wondered what friendship would be" is more family-friendly than "It kicked me in the chest and broke my ribs".

  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  Because they are.
  
  Compared to me, the living god, that is.

  People own horses? Isn't that, like, a rich person thing?

  I'll be someone's horse if you pay me enough.

  Welcome to rural areas.  Ranches, livestock, and horses are a thing.

  Not exactly? I mean, it is usually a thing only wealthy people can afford, but if you live in a rural area and have a farm, owning a horse or even several isn't exactly a sign of great wealth.

  On a vaguely related note, apparently IOS 10 draws its default gif library externally, and occasionally contains pony porn.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  Ponies can kick your...wait, you already said that
