I read that horses can't breathe through their mouths, yet they neigh and whine. Is their an airway which only let's a small amount of air through just to make noises?
Thanks ahead of time.
Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'I know that I am flawed': 'This Week on the Plounge' wherein I inform you, the fine folks of the mane sub, what's been going on at your favourite sister subreddit, the Plounge, this past week.
Wait, what is this Plounge you speak of?
The Plounge, or more formally the MLP Lounge is /r/mylittlepony's sister subreddit. Designed to be a place where you can free of the tyranny of rules 3 and 4. A chill place for bronies or anyone to talk in a SFW chat centric environment. It can be found over at /r/MLPLounge. (most of us browse by /new though). Oh and BPM is nice to have. Even if you're allergic to using emotes yourself you'll miss a lot of extra context without it.
What some casual conversation with a sprinkling of ponies? Come over to this introductions thread and meet some people. Don't worry there's also a topic so it ain't just "hi!" "hi" awkward silence.

This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. That was posted a few hours ago. Every week these two threads will be posted at alternate times.
Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.
IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.
So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (November 8th, 2018) today, you know what that means...
It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!
Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):
Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.
Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.
Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!
PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget.

Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!
Hello again my beautiful subjects? I hope Daylight Savings Time didn't mess up too many of your schedules. But don't worry, it's all for a good cause of me not having to raise the sun as early and getting to sleep in.
As to this week's business, it's time for EPIC PONIES because that's a thing. Explosions, sword fights, guitar solos, whatever you feel is awesome, bad-flank or edgy.
Post your EPIC PONIES with the tag [Epic Week], and as always have a safe and fun Hiatus!
Am I the only one doing it?
Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!
Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!
If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!
But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.
If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:
[It has ponies!](/spoiler)
Becomes: It has ponies!
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread here!!!!!
So some background; I've ridden 4 years western and did a lot of bareback work.
I made the rash decision to join my colleges Polo team last night. Dues are 350$ a semester and I have to have my own boots, helmet, gloves, and face mask which is not horrible. I can bring my own saddle but I don't know if I'm riding a specific horse all the time or what - so I can't buy one yet. I'd prefer to have my own saddle just for my own comfort but past that it doesn't really matter.
Has anyone on this sub played Polo before? Can I get any tips or tricks that might be handy? Is there anything I need to know? I'll be riding a lot next semester and I'm really excited.
TLDR; Need tips for first time Polo player.
There are always things about the show I want to talk about, but I'd rather not always dedicate an entire full blown thread to it or it's never the right time to mention because no one would care. Maybe it's a thought that could be answered quickly enough to end discussion or something insignificant and stupid brewing in the back of your head for awhile! Anything you want to throw out to r/mylittlepony and say your piece!
Is there anything you've wanted to mention lately but never got around to it? Anything you want to speak up about for a bit? Any pony topic at all?
I recently purchased a team of Amish pulling horses from a feedlot. They are currently in quarantine at a farm and will be coming home in a little less than a month. I have lots of horsey experience but these are my first long distance rescues, I haven't even seen them in person yet. I would love to hear from you guys about your experiences with feedlot rescues and amish trained horses. What can I expect?
So we all know about Cutie Marks. Those oh so special coming of age marks that appear on a fillies or colt's flanks when they discover their hidden talent/talents and towards their destinies.
Sometimes however these talents are not what one might hope it would be and or infact bring misfortune or trouble to their owners.
So with this in mind what are some kinds of cutie marks that you can imagine will adversely affect a pony? Whether it be in a darker talent; Theft, Lying, Necromancy, Dark Magic, forgery: or something seemingly benign but boring like waste collection or being a ground's keeper.
What might happen if one were to rebel against what their cutie mark tells them deciding to make their own destiny damn what their cutie mark is telling them? And just for fun describe what y'all think a chosen unfortunate Cutie Mark would look like.
Hi everyone :)
Looking at taking my young mare (soon to be broken in) from QLD Australia to North Island NZ. So far the quotes I've gotten for flying them across are very expensive. Does anyone know of any way I can get her over there in a cost effective way? Doesn't have to be flying. :)
