A dominant male and a herd of females?” “Actually,” Applejack said, “that’s a common misunderstandin! While horses do have a harem style reproductive structure where the primary stallion drives off his rivals, that don't translate to a patriarchal social structure. One stallion may get all the action, but mares still run the herd.” “Ah… I guess.” His tail flicked awkwardly. “If you say so.” “I do say so. It’ll be fine.” Applejack turned back to the crowd. “Okay, everypony! One night with the sexiest stallion in the whole of Ponyville. Bidding starts at a hundred bits.” She pounded her auctioneer's gavel, and the crowd of mares went wild.
