Yeah, that’s one of my favorite parts too. I love it when the show does something to remind us that there’s some things the ponies would find offensive, humiliating, or demeaning. Like when Applejack puts a harness on Rainbow Dash in the episode Bridle Gossip and says “Geddy up lil pony”, and RD is like “excuse me!”. Same goes for how offended Twilight looks when Spike does the same thing in A Dog and Pony Show.
What I do to my temp plush all the time, her mane is awesome.xD
I wish I could comb my hand through her mane.
