#horses - #Hay Pellets?

Hay Pellets?

Hey there Reddit!

I just moved my boy from New Mexico to Florida and it's been a huge transition for him and my checking account. In New Mexico, he ate a base grass blended hay pulled from a round bale 3x day and had a dry lot pasture.

Now in Florida, he has about 30 acres of beautiful green grass to snack on. We are working on slowly transitioning him to a grazing schedule to avoid some upset stomachs, but his stall (indoor box with a great outdoor run) has grass in it as it is so it's largely unavoidable. It's been a couple of days and he's taking it all in stride, the only problem being the coastal hay that the barn feeds. It appears to be similar in nutritional value and texture to the New Mexico hay, but my boy picked around it. This appears to be our new standard and for the cost of hay out here as it is, I want to think of some alternatives before switching to another hay that may be of a similar quality.

So my question is, does anyone feed pellet hay in place of their horses morning/afternoon feeding? He could be able to graze the entirety of the day on grass and may have grass available in his run depending on how it holds up.

For me it was Twilight. When she was going crazy trying to create a friendship problem. So creepy, yet very cute that she didn't want to let her mentor down.

Should Starlight Glimmer be elevated to a Main Character on par with the Mane 6?

In many tv series, animated or otherwise, a new character is introduced whose popularity or for reasons of the story become an integral cast member equal to the introductory main cast. It seems like Starlight Glimmer has approached or is approaching that level and could be considered co-equal with the Mane 6 characters. Would you like to see this development be made official by deliberately putting her in the opening credits as an action scene (not just in the final picture frame) and including her in the marketing materials as part of the main cast of ponies?

#mylittlepony - #How do you think magic works in Equestria?

How do you think magic works in Equestria?

So last week I asked what people thought were the objectively best choice is taken to Equstria; Stay human or become a pony. That spawned a sub-conversation about general magic usage, which I thought raised an interesting question: How does magic actually work in Equestria?

Now, I don't mean how ponies learn magic. We can pretty definitively say magic is learned like anything else (for unicorns); You practice a spell, and depending on how good you are, you learn it at some point. I mean in terms of the actual world. How and where does magic exist? How do unicorns cast magic? How does it affect pegasi and earth ponies, who we know have some kind of magical properties since earth ponies are the strongest kind of ponies, and pegasi can fly with a pretty small wingspan relative to body size, as well as control the weather (And they can stand on clouds somehow). There are also other beasts, such as the timberwolves, who are obviously magical in nature. How does it all work?

Personally, I am a fan of the idea of "Leylines". For those who aren't familiar with leylines, they are a kind of underground "Network" of high densities of magic. Kind of like the rivers on the surface, but for magic. I like to think that especially magical areas, such as the Everfree Forest, are located in places, knowingly or not, where leylines overlap or meet and create "focal points" of magic, where magic is very readily available in larger quantities than usual. This gives an explanation for why magical beasts like Timberwolves aren't a plague actively being dealt with all the time; They are relatively few in number, because they require a diet that either is only available on such focal points (Such as a plant or animal that is only found there) or they siphon, at least partially, directly from focal points to sustain themselves, therefore requiring them to stick to those areas to survive.

On the topic of magic for pegasi and earth ponies, I believe that all creatures and plants, due to the presence of the leylines, are naturally born with an affinity for magic of some kind; Everything is created from something else that was already affected by them. Pegasi and earth ponies are different genes of the same original pony race, and evolution allowed them to split into different ponies with different "results" of magical exposure. I believe all creatures, to some extend, can manipulate magic. However, most creatures aren't consciously aware unlike unicorns casting magic. Perhaps this is the reason why some cutie marks, such as Fluttershy's, allows her to understand animals despite not changing her speech pattern to match them. When pegasi are flying, or moving clouds, they are actually manipulating the magic within the clouds and the air. But they aren't aware because it occurs as naturally to them as breathing or walking.

On the topic of unicorn spell casting, I believe their horn functions much like a limb, but for magic; Unicorn horns contain some kind of substance that attracts magic, perhaps like a magnet to attract or repel it. And just like your brain send signals to perform delicate movements with your limbs, unicorn brains send signals to manipulate this substance very delicately to affect the magic around the unicorn to coalesce or dissipate around whatever the unicorn is trying to manipulate. The reason I say this is because a unicorns horn seems to be a focal point for magic; It seems to me like unicorns use their horns as a "sight" for it. The alicorn amulet is part of why I believe so. The amulet glows alongside the wielders horn, as if the amulet is functioning as a secondary focal point. This would make sense if we assume unicorn magic is manipulative, since more points from which to manipulate the magic in the world would allow for more "delicate movement", just like using both hands for something usually makes it easier. This also explains why the spells that seem the easiest are based on movement, while the hardest are based on alteration. Magic can be seen as the act of manipulating atoms. Moving an object is the same as moving atoms around to do what you want. In terms of magic, this falls under the "shove the thing around" category, which is pretty straight forward to understand, even if not understood literally. Alteration, such as an aging spell, instead requires the spell caster to understand, to some degree, what new atoms they need to put together, or what they need to take away. It's a much more delicate movement of atoms around them, and therefore is much more difficult to do.

...I'll stop my headcanon wall there. Discuss!

#mylittlepony - #Hasbro vs Capcom gets made. Who would you want representing MLP?

Hasbro vs Capcom gets made. Who would you want representing MLP?

Essentially which characters would you want representing the show in a fighting game. My picks:

Twilight Sparkle: Pretty obvious pick. Main character of the show and her varied magical abilities could make for an interesting moveset.

Rainbow Dash: The other obvious pick. She's the most popular character overall. It would be cool if she had a playstyle that centered around creating storm clouds and then activating them to hit enemies with lightning, although just a super mobile rushdown character would work as well.

Queen Chrysalis: My pick for a villain rep. She's the only one that has made repeated appearances and is still evil. As for a kit she could transform into different creatures as part of her attacks in addition to having magic. You could do some really crazy stuff with her.

Ember: She has fireballs and a dragon punch. She could make for an interesting take on a shoto fighter (character similar to Ryu from Street Figher) since she could have some longer hitboxes with fire and also having flight.

Captain Celaeno: My pick for a movie rep. Pirates are cool and she could call in some of her crew as part of her moves.

This is a weekly event coinciding (mostly) with NPT; off-topic and meta threads will be staggered so this week's off-topic thread is being submitted now and the meta thread was posted 12 hours ago. Next NPT will be the opposite! We do not ask that all off-topic discussion be kept to this submission; it is merely here as a courtesy and you are free to continue off-topic discussion in the comments of other submissions (off-topic submissions, however, are still a no-no). What's your favorite non-pony cartoon? Have fun!

Set the Sails of the Ship. Over the year what is the weirdest pony ship you have ever come across?

I may not be into shipping except what is in the show's canon but I've been in this fandom since mid 2011 to see a lot of weird ships I come across randomly.

I still find the classic Pip/Luna one to be one of the weirdest and slightly creepiest one out there of all the ones I ever seen. Definitely something on that one is a little unnerving to me.

Anyone got theirs tales of the weird?

Are you more excited for the movie or the season finale?

Just as the title suggests, we're not far off from October now and the end of season 7 and the release of the 2017 feature length movie. Which do you feel more excited about?

I'm not so thrilled about what the season 7 finale is supposed to be about, but after reading a few movie leaks I'm not really super excited about the movie either.

If I'm being honest though, I think I'm more excited for the season finale, just because I don't really know what it is yet (rumors aside.)

I've tried Googling around, but I really can't find any sites that let you filter by area and also provide up to date listings for horses for lease. This is making my search pretty difficult and I don't know where to start.

I just moved to this area, but I don't know if it's standard to just go to stables and ask?

My Little Pony on Reddit - The guy who writes the Meta Discussion titles is sick this week.

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 that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!
