The Clydesdale hesitates to accept this new reality but quickly learns his new cutie marks him the luckiest pony in Equestria.

I really like it and I'm curious how it will go on.
good story mate
Great start!
Trouble Shoes should get into the stocks market.
A very interesting prospect. Excited to see what you do with this story!
shoudlnt the horse shoe be fliped right side up on her flank then, an upside down horse shoe invites bad luck because all the good luck has 'spilled out' of it
Like... a really good solid start.
so..... Ranma 1/2? i like it, always loved Ranma and still do.

Yeah the artist forgot to include that but its fine.
It looks like Trouble Shoes has turned into Lucky Shoes. This story will be interesting to me and I'm giving you six stars for doing a good job. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I see several errors in that description.
Me gustó la historia
I like this!
The real fun will be when Shoes encounters other members of the apple clan. Unless this is a literal mirror universe in general and Shoes has always been lucky.
Wait, wait, wait. Isn't TS a mare now? Still thinking in male terms. Just saying.
Mare or not, there's only one reference for this.

I just base the pronouns as the character sees themself more then what they are.

Just saying.
Intriguing opener! I’m excited to see how this unfolds. A ponies cutie mark is an interesting expression of who they are deep down, and Trouble Shoes’ relation with his mark is already very cool as a character exploration. I look forward to seeing how he ends up feeling with it altered!
The story seems interesting and the concept behind the story as well.
Can't wait to see your more of your chapters and remember: Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.
How about That? Must have... Lucked in.
nice chap
You keep telling yourself that.
Hmmm... reminds me of a certain duck.

Oh! 20 dollars
Going to be tragic if at the end Shoes has to give it all up.
This new chapter is great, I LIKE IT! I can't wait to see what Lucky will do next and remember: Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, and dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.
Here's a song that will make you unstoppable. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/h3h035Eyz5A
I think I'm going to like Lucky Horseshoes I think it's perfect for me. Being Trouble Shoes is the worst always getting into a lot of trouble and having bad luck but when he turned into Lucky Horseshoes things started to get better and always have a lot of luck. Good luck is just you noticing an opportunity to shine.
What I want for Lucky Horseshoes is to have good luck in her life. I never want her to go back to Trouble Shoes and cause trouble again, she needs to have good luck by her side. Good luck is the willing handmaid of an upright and energetic character and conscientious observance of duty.
That was the most beautiful thing I ever seen. I think my love meter just went to 100.
This new chapter is great, Foal Star, I enjoyed it. I can't wait to see what other things can Lucky will do probably she'll meet Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Along with competing in a Iron Pony competition too. One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and be understood.
Here's a song that'll make you the greatest. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/IzCpyiabtME
needs higher rating due to TG
Thats's some escalation, and it mostly works due the premise. I feel played, I usually dislike this kind of scenes, but this time the irony is on me, good job.
I'm sorry, but this kind of bugs me. Without the story's description being at the top, you'd think TS is otherwise unchanged. Even if S/HE thinks of HERself as still being HIMself, the audience is not supposed to!
Well, that's my opinion, anyway.

I think the abiguity is intentional. The pronouns are flipping back and forth way to fast for it not to be.
Just look at this paragraph.
Honestly this is pretty good internal character tension. I'm looking forward to seeing how shoes' story will unfold!
There's always an option to commited seppukuas third choice.
...What? Where does that came from?

Just saying, for the previous chapters...
"I didn't do anything, but you're welcome.?"
That's frou-frou, but yeah.
Wrong. There is such a thing as giving too much of yourself.
Ton, Aggretsuko,
Character 101: any character 's strength, taken too far or in the wrong direction, becomes a flaw.
I wish Trouble Shoes would stay as Lucky Horseshoes; Good luck is great for him, but bad luck makes his life miserable. I want him to have good luck because I always want him to be happy; I can't risk him to be sad forever. With his new cutie mark and Applejack by his side to give him confidence. He could be the luckiest earth pony that everypony wants him to be. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief.

love this. a lot of the stories i read when a character ends up switching genders/bodies,, the pronouns and the way the character views themself immediately changes. so im already a big fan of this fic
i like lucky shoes a lot so far :) i hope she doesn't have to give this new change up... completely at least and go back to being super clumsy. maybe something in-between.
im ship them so hard 🥹🥹 🧡💚
imo, i like to think trouble shoes cutiemark and stuff was based on clumsiness, his big figure/breed of horse he is. while lucky shoes is more of being at the right place at the right time, ie. angel bunny.
i do hope there is some way for his new cutie mark to help others? yknow. and that he stays humble
