Sheerluck Hooves is the most peculiar stallion of peculiar ponies. He is always wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker cap. Always blowing a silly-looking bubble pipe.
But he is a genius, a world-renowned consulting detective from Trotland Yard in Great Bridleton. And, in a very mind-boggling way, he is a cousin to Derpy Hooves. And he is coming over to stay with the Hooves family for quite some time.
Sheerluck is partially based off the original Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He also takes personality traits from Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock and my own persona. Sherlock Holmes is actually now in public domain, so it is perfectly legal for me to write about Sherlock Holmes and to use direct references to Doyle's stories. MLP is indeed copyright by Hasbro. I take no credit to ponies from the canon show.
This COULD be considered a ponification story, but it follows the rules of the 'SkeleVerse' and uses mostly original ideas. Lots of allusions to Doyle's work.
