The Story of a Yonderhill Pony: The Battle of Yonderhill

It just occurred to me that somepony might find these pages on my corpse and not have a clue who I am, so I guess formal introductions are in order.

My name is Easy Green. I’m a young Earth Pony mare. I’m nothing special to look at. Straw coloured coat, short cropped vibrant green mane, dull brown eyes. Pretty average in most other aspects. I don’t really accessorize beyond my doctor’s coat when on the job. I wish I had a picture with me at the clinic, but back where I live all I have is old family photos that might not be the most suitable for this. 

I was born and raised outside of Las Pegasus to a couple of ‘grass farmers’. The joke is that while that sounds pretty useless outside of supporting cattle, they are in fact managers of a high end golf course. Fairway and Sandtrap (Mom and Dad). While it is a joke, growing grass still is a family talent going back generations. Even I’ve inherited the talent, to a degree that is. My Cutie Mark is a hay bale surrounded by various greens (clover, thistle, grasses, etc.), and while that seems to be obviously related to growing lawns, it apparently represents my talent as a veterinary dietitian. Yeah, seems kind of odd, but it manifested when I discovered that while rabbits love eating clover, a diet solely on clover will kill them. I saved the lives of dozens of rabbits from a new breeder’s ignorance. 

Mom and Dad supported my talent and after graduating from Las Pegasus’ veterinary college, I found an assistant’s position here in Yonderhill under Doctor Heartland. While it is rather far from home, I took to the rural community quite well. The close knit, small town feel made me more comfortable than I ever felt back in Las Pegasus. I’ve lived here for a few years and have become part of the community.

How many of this community are already dead? How many more will die, believing that they can still win this? 

I don’t know if that’s enough for a good introduction, but I guess you’ll get to know me better as you keep reading.
