I still think it's due to an effective marketing strategy for Iron Will...
Damn it, my argument got eaten by being on the bottom of the page. Seriously, there weren't that many jerks, just a bit more than usual.
So... does Shoeshine's cutie mark prove that at least some ponies wear traditional horseshoes?
It means she got the cool shoeshine.
I would assume that horseshoes are used to keep ponies from splitting their hooves when doing heavy labor. Because the don't need to keep them on permanently, they wouldn't be as heavily fastened to the ponies hooves as the shes on out horses, and could probably be removed like we remove our own shoes.
In general, I just try not to think too much about that sort of thing. Equestria ponies are just a completely different being.
Well, now that my math homework is done, I'll go to bed...
These ponies are also, you know, little, so that probably means less stress on their hooves.
Man the episode was comedic gold. Well I'm sleepy, night.
Good night as well. Pray tell me if there is some interesting conversation while I am out. Peace out.
I was on earlier and the thread was unusually slow. I leave for a few hours and twenty pages pop up. Now I'm back and everyone is asleep. Curse you Quantum Thread Effect!
@Bagofmagicfood: ...
Damn you.
If you wish to know, you only need to ask.
