[ Yeah, but where she's from, they have bucking contests with baby dragons--well, one specific baby dragon. And Spike is much smaller than Mr. Ricketts. ]
Teach her? Whatcha got to teach her for? Can'tcha just...ask her nicely?
Really? [ But cows are just as smart as ponies, and even though Winona can't speak, she's still really, really smart. She's not just Applejack's pet--they're partners. ]
Why'd you hafta get on her back, anyhow? Can't you walk by yourself?

[For what it's worth, the Ponyta doesn't seem too upset about being tamed to ride. Ricketts find his Gear quickly and tips his hat to the young girl.]
Morning, Miss Pony.

She still needs to get used to having extra weight on her back and I need to be able to direct her.

[ Cougars? Wolf packs? ] There are cougars here? [ Big ones? Eat-a-pony-up-in-one-bite cougars? ] Oh, hayseed...I thought there were only pokey-mon!

I don't know if varmits like that are here, but there might be Pokeman equivalents.

So long as they're pokey-mon, Winona can help me out. She's pretty good at this stuff.
