Applejack has been a friend to many animals in her life. Her dog, Winona for example. However, much like her friend Rarity's enmity with crabs, Applejack too has a nemesis. She can't stand rabbits. Of course knowing Angel Bunny didn't help her get close to the critters, but even without taking him into account, she still couldn't deal with them. They weren't a proper animal in her opinion, always stealing from her orchard, or gobbling up Carrot Top's planted livelihood. Before becoming close friends with Fluttershy, she had dealt with them the best she could, Winona giving vigorous assistance, but nothing could keep them away from her beloved crops. Lassos, box traps, and even digging pitfalls didn't help. It wasn't until she mentioned the problem to Pinkie Pie that she was offered her first glimmer of hope. Pinkie had listened intently, and then run off, mentioning the solution lay at Sugarcube Corner, carried by Mrs.Cake. When she came back, Pinkie was holding something strange. "Applejack, you're lucky that I work in a bakery. Bakers always have a hare net lying around."
