[DON'T YOU MEAN IMPRESSED?]

[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.

[ It's not the act itself that bothers her; it's the relative size of the Ponyta vs Ricketts. ]

Ain'tcha a bit big for playin' bucking games?

[She's larger than average, if that helps.]

It's best to teach a horse to take a rider while she's still young.

[ 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?

[He has to remind himself that this girl is a pony and apparently from a world where ponies are sentient.]

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

She's a Ponyta. She's smarter than a dog, but not as intelligent as you ponies are. Back where I'm from, horses and ponies are like any other animal.

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?

And how far have you gotten on your two legs?

Riding makes a trip faster and less dangerous; a horse has better luck outrunning a cougar or a wolf pack than a human does.

[He chuckles at her indignant tone] That you have, Miss Pony. You've gotten all the way to the next town already, haven't you?

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

Darn tootin'! Me an' Fluttershy are in Cherrygrove already!

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