I'm a brony and a Pinkie Pie fan but I like all of the mane six, as well as Spike. I hope to provide some entertaining and interesting fanfics for the Brony community.

Remember how in "Simple Ways" Applejack told Rarity, that if she wasn't careful with applebucking, she could sprain a hoof?

Well that's exactly what happens in this fic.

Rarity will soon learn the hard way, why applebucking is best left to the experts.

3945697 Yeah. I actually was expecting Rarity to sprain her hoof apple bucking in the episode. It would've been hillarious, but I guess had that happened it would've resolved the Trenderhoof issue.

This story made me laugh out loud twice. Very fun and the premise could have worked in the series.

Writing was a tiny bit awkward in places, and indentation in the beginning is a bit weird (looks like you hit the space bar after indenting). Other than that, pretty smooth read :eeyup:

I can't be the only one who was expecting this to happen when Rarity attempted to apple buck.

No, you wasn't the only one, I was kind of expecting that too...

Couple of bits of over-explanation, but otherwise, rather funny and enjoyable. :pinkiesmile:

Well I was expecting no apples to come down due to a flaw in technique and sprain her leg. Rarity is physically very capable if you think about lifting Tom, so she probably could brute force it.

This story caught my attention because it was the first to have the Trenderhoof tag after the site introduced it. I'm glad I finally found the time to read it, that was a good mix of serious and funny.

Not a bad story and it's definitely closer to what I thought would happen than what actually happened.

Tagged comedy, but it seems to be played totally straight. :/ I'm not sure what the point of this was.

5176725 How exactly is it played totally straight? There's at least some comedy in here.

Just a little with AJ taunting her and whatnot at the beginning. But then it's just "off to the hospital", with Trenderhoof trying to avoid being helpful. It's essentially what would happen if someone hurt themselves doing something like this. It's not bad, it's just not funny.

Not bad, but I don't think that hooves can actually be sprained; later in the episode, we see Rarity's hooves cracked, and she's not screaming in pain then. And we see horseshoes everywhere in the show; if they weren't used (as in, nailed to the hoof) currently and in the past, then why are they displayed so much?

5815477 Maybe not front hooves, but back hooves appear to be the equivalent of legs.

I can't be the only one who was expecting this to happen when Rarity attempted to apple buck.

Actually, quite a few expected that scenario to occur. Well, this is one of those stories that makes great use of Rarity's comedic talent, at times hilarious and touching, not unlike an episode of CBS' M*A*S*H (1972-83). I wonder if its comic style was on your mind when it was written as those of us who actually saw that show might agree that its style applied very much here.
