More of Thistle Chaser’s Team. On the left we have her brother, Ponderosa Pine, and on the right we have Clarence the mule.

Ponderosa Pine

Parents: Braeburn/Roseluck

Ponderosa, while loyal to his family, seems to be quite fiddle footed in his young age. He loves to wander the frontier just to see what lay on the other side of the next hill. And sometimes even the badlands if he feels called that direction. The “elephants graveyard” of Equestria. The Ravenholm. You just don’t go there, dammit. Ponderosa is a bit dandified, 100 percent gentle colt, and very peaceable. Until his curiosity lands him trouble with the more brackish and out of sorts neighbors. Especially the “neighbors” that like to say hello with TNT and crossbows. Then he proceeds to show his more rough and tumble nature, as he’s not afraid to break noses to protect his friends and the down and out. His favorite drink is Jewel Cactus Juice, and he’s lost so many hats, that he’s actually had to learn how to make his own.

His cutie mark is a work in progress. It’ll show up on his flank eventually

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Clarence is soft spoken, cautious, and tough. A mule born of a mama pony and a dad donkey. Donkey Dad most certainly got game.

Formerly a worker in construction, Clarence isn’t one to roam, but since he volunteered (well he does get a pay check) to be on the wagon team, he has no choice but to leave Appleloosa on a semi regular basis. He is not as the saying goes “as stubborn as a mule”. Instead he’s usually pretty compliant to the requests of his friends, as he’s willing to do most anything for them, unless it’s flat out stupid. Of the two siblings, he’s much more willing to stick his neck out for Thistle. If only because she’s the least crazy.

Clarence bitten on the neck by a dog once in his youth, so while he doesn’t suffer full on cynophobia, he is a bit paranoid around them. You won’t see him going out of his way to pet even the friendliest dog.

So there you go. Opinions are appreciated, especially when it comes to their colors, which might change in the future.
