Harry Potter ponies. Do we have any fanart of them?

@Chariot: Check the tags on ponibooru, key tag is harry_potter.

By the way, the longest run of consecutive page toppers is by Applelight Limited from 4068 to 4073.

I remember getting three consecutive pagetoppers in a row :D

What is this I don't even

I got 5 once

i got two in a row once.

I also got two in a row once, which I totally didn't expect. I usually have something at the back of my mind to add to a pagetopper and I remember being caught off guard by that second one. >.>

I wonder if the ponies need to keep their hoofs trimmed or maintained to avoid painfully split hooves. Those are definitely worse than finger/toe nail damage (winces). Rarity does enjoy Poni Pedicures, but hers are also for reasons of beauty apparently.

Ace: Well, we have to take measures to protect and maintain our feet, so ponies would likely have to do something similar.

@ Story: Are you sure? I remember getting about 8 once.

Also, hai guyz.

We do see their hoofprints look like they are traditionally shod, but it always looks like they aren't when their soles are pointed to us. Also, they consistently wear hoof shoes instead, although this is prolly more of a fashion thing.

From here to here I got six pagetoppers in a row.

Ace: Perhaps the ponies' magical nature also reinforces their hooves (or bodies in general, really, since they can take quite a bit of punishment)?

Bad: Hehe, I like how you went back and dug that up.

Natural Magic Toughness? Makes sense, it probably helps them heal faster as well since it takes only days for Dashie to heal off her broken wing.

I think it's safe to assume that they have hooves like normal horses, but they are simplified by the art style. In that case heavy manual laborers probably have to have some work done to prevent hoof damage, but aside from cleaning they would probably be low maintenance if you didn't haul or carry heavy loads all the time. Horseshoes are necessary on real horses because their hooves aren't designed to carry a rider or haul cargo. At least, that's what my understanding of it is, I could be wrong.

I haven't hit the top 25 posters? Hmm, I need to post more. Shame I have nothing to contribute about 60% of the time.

Same here. Unless you guys enjoy talking about old video games

Non-laborers like Rarity would need to get their hooves trimmed every so often. They keep growing just like fingernails, and if they're not worn down they get too long and start causing problems.

I imagine they have means of sanding down their hooves a little, and some ponies who need to do a lot of heavy work regularly get their hooves shod to prevent hoof damage, while other ponies wear hoof shoes instead. I suppose that's where their glue comes from, hoof-clippings/sandings.

@CDRW: Rarity goes for poni-pedicures, she states it outright during A Dog and Pony Show.

Behold, nail clippers for ponies!◊

Pegasi would probably have to do the most maintenance. Flight would probably mean they wouldn't naturally wear down their hooves very much and I can't imagine pushing around clouds would help much in that regard.

I'm sure that's too unwieldy for non-Unicorns to manipulate. My own mental picture sees most ponies using some kind of sanding stone to sand their hooves down regularly, while beauty-concious ponies like Rarity go for pony-pedicures with very careful sanding-and-buffing done with very fine sanding paper.

Well, I believe that ponies heal faster and have more defense because of their innate magic. To clarify, they have regenerating health, innate/constant magic shields, and cure/heal spells - all courtesy of magic. The doctors probably used a cure spell to heal the flesh damage, and some regents and other spells to mend the broken bones.

The reason why Dashie stayed in the hospital for 6 days (instead of just going out after a few hours of the healing) was because the mend bone spell was more of a basic-level one, and just slightly repaired the bone - making it easy to fracture yet, her body could repair it via regeneration in a few days. They probably used the basic one as the more complicated and stronger spells would require much more magic power and more expensive regents.

No wonder Twi was able to recover so rapidly after the slapstick abuse in FPK She probably knew a few self-repair spells!

Also Pony natural magic resistance might make it tricky for Twi to use certain spells that target ponies, like the Flutter-Pony wings thing she tried on Rarity in The Sonic Rainboom.
