I saw this and now you have to see it too.

Behold.

Now I can't help but imagine this as a medieval book of pony folklore about humans. You know Lyra must have a copy of this somewhere.

For extra energy in lateral work, put a grand piano in your pelvis and play great rolling chords.

What even the actual...

Yeah, I could definitely see this being one of the few surviving works of human literature in a post/preapocalyptic Earth on its way to becoming Equestria, thus leading to all kinds of grand myths regarding the ancient humans. I imagine Pinkie's favorites are the ones about the ice cream people of Scandineighvia.

Also, nice to know that torrential gearhulks would be great at horseback riding if anyone made a big enough horse.

This is what happens when you let artists draw literal metaphors.

That... that certainly is a thing...

It is interesting, some of the comments in that thread. As surreal as those illustrations are ("Piano Pelvis" sounds like a Pinkie Pie ailment), apparently they are rather good metaphors for the desired riding mindset. Certainly are memorable; if I were studying how to ride horse-back, I do not think I will ever be able to forget those illustrations

NOW YOU ALL KNOW MY PAIN.

Also I wonder what it says about me that literally everyone who commented on this, including me, have grey ponies as our user pics. Probably nothing. But a peculiar coincidence nonetheless.

This is literally the reason I still have a placeholder avatar. I have yet to come up with anything better.
