In all the years he worked at Canterlot Castle, Greenhooves never thought the Grand Galloping Gala was anything but a bore. But, after disentangling a guest in his garden, he might have a chance to make this year memorable.
A stallion can dream, can't he?

Bittersweet, and using a background character only seen I believe once. Nice choice, and good touch with the story and dream. Bravo!
What a cute story. I liked how you took a small scene in an episode and expanded it into a story involving a daydream. It makes me wonder if you'll do another story with these two ponies. Anyway, I enjoyed reading this.

This was adorable.
Awww. This was gorgeous, Minds. You and Lambent did such a great job. A very special little piece, short and sweet, with a great little message.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to your new one, too.
Delectably bittersweet, and well done from start to finish

Thank you.
Amazing job, especially with the daydream sequence. I loved his advice to the guard; it was touching, and really made me think. Thanks for posting!

You're welcome. Thanks for reading!
Good read. The timing's funny because I have a story that I haven't put out yet that has a somewhat similar concept to this fic.
Love this story, and the little G1 reference I see there (Unless that was unintentional ^^;)

I wrote a review of this story. It can be found here.
Wind Whistler huh?
Awesome story Minds - Greenhooves character comes through very strong.

Thanks!
I think Greenhooves' words should be remembered by everyone. That advice he gives, is very true.
Excellent story, I enjoyed it.
Fantastic job. I'm pleased to report that I have chills.
I don't suppose you've ever heard of the musical The Most Happy Fella, Minds Eye? Well, it's about an older man who falls in love with a younger woman, and how the two deal with their feelings for one another. Don't be deceived by the title - the "fella" in question really isn't very happy at all. Well, this story brings that show immediately to mind, in the best possible way. Great work.

I have not heard of that. I'll keep it in mind, though. Thanks for the tip.
Glad you enjoyed it!

#Review coming in hot for this story. I have to say this: you're probably going to get more than just an enjoyable for this.
So much to compliment! Squee
Congratulations on your Must #Read status from the Pleasant Commentator and Review Group! I hope you enjoyed the review!
P.S. Squee!
I really want to see more of Greenhooves.
HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME FEELINGS ABOUT A CHARACTER THAT HAD LESS THAN TEN SECONDS OF SCREENTIME? In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this story and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.

If I didn't, who would? And thanks.
Very very belated indeed given how long ago I reviewed this, but here at last is the like you deserve! Flashy this ain't, but it's always good to see minor characters fleshed out satisfyingly.
