Every winter, Nurse Redheart leaves behind the sterile rooms of Ponyville General to join in a celebrated tradition: dogsled racing to the Northernmost-point of Equestria. Forming the infamous team Redjacks with her girlfriend Roseluck,  Redheart aims to settle the score with rival Lone Raider in this year’s contest: the catch is that with one sick dog, she’ll have to settle for an untrained, unproven replacement.

When Applejack left home to go back to college after winter break, Winona seemed as happy and healthy as ever. Tragically, just weeks later, Applejack learns her family's beloved dog had passed away in her sleep, years earlier than anyone would have expected. Shocked and grief-stricken, she reaches out to one of the only friends she knows who's lost a personal pet before—Twilight Sparkle, many miles away at her own school. Will video chat be enough for them to provide each other with the comfort they need?

All death is past-tense and there are no violent descriptions. Applejack and Twilight are the only characters who appear; all others tagged are discussed only (though in significant detail).

Ever since that embarrassing loss to Daring Do and a meddlesome pony, Ahuizotl swears to have his revenge one way or another. To draw Daring Do into one of his traps, and perhaps collect a reward as a bonus, he devises a daring scheme that involves kidnapping a group of friends. But instead of going for Twilight and the other ponies, he decides instead to kidnap something more personal... their 'pets'. It starts off easy enough, as he quickly takes all the animals into his secret hideout. But little does he realize, the job of keeping prisoners is easier said than done. Expect many twists and hilarious moments.

Of the many life questions we have, there is one subject that rarely comes up: How Winona became part of the Apple family?

But things get slightly complicated when the parents share concerns over whether Applejack is ready to have a pet or not. But during Equestria's bleakest hour of the season, one act of fate will change everything.
