Hugh Jelly hadn't always known what his cutie mark would be. Once upon a time, he was a colt almost as rambunctious as the cutiemark crusaders. He ran about town looking for activities that he could help with by day, and returned home each night completely unfulfilled. A good, but wild friend Vinyl Scratch, decided that since simple safe activities hadn't produced any results. perhaps more dangerous ones would. That in mind, she launched him from treetops, dropped him down Ghastly Gorge, and blasted him with her music, which was probably the most dangerous of all. Her well meaning attempts had Hugh fearing for his life whenever she came over. One day he couldn't take it anymore, and hid himself in a giant jar of blueberry jam until she had left. It was fortunate that one taste of the jam was enough to alert him to his life's calling, but his apology to Vinyl did make things a bit awkward between them. "Sorry Vinyl, but I was in a jam. It was a matter of self preservation!"
