Rainbow Dash loves being famous, the constant television appearances, the lines of adoring fans waiting for an autograph, the conventions filled with obsessive Bronies. The only problem is, in this world a talking horse is still of course just a horse.
That was kinda depressing. And why would the USDA get involved if they knew Rainbow was sentient?

Horses are horses, and the law is the law, and there aren't any exceptions in the law for sentient horses. So, until someone got around for adding them, Mz. Dash would just be another performing animal, like a magicians rabbit. (Which are definitely under the jurisdiction of the USDA, just look at any magician's web forum)

Yes, but Miss Dash actually falls under first contact with sentient alien life which the US government actually has a protocol for. So she would be beyond USDA jurisdiction.

SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.
