Faust's comments: Sketch of Rarity for 2008 MLP:FiM pitch bible. The original concept for her boutique was that it was a cross between a shop and a merry-go-round called Carousel Couture. Originally, Rarity specialized in carousel designs, but that little detail didn't make it. Plus, bridles seemed to weird everyone out, which is understandable.

To be fair I don't think Bridles made it into the show; but saddles certainly did!
Though is it just me, or are saddles gradually being phased out?
Come to think of it "Pony!" stuff has gradually been phasing out... (remember in Apples to the Core? In the animatic, Pinkie Pie does a cute little backwards trot. In the final product, the trot got replaced by the Superman Dance, which is all weird and human-y looking..)
but I'm just being picky at this point

Actually, the bridles did make it into the show.
For example, in Swarm of the Century:
Also:Spoiler: Green Isn't Your Color showSpoiler: Sleepless In Ponyville showSpoiler: Princess Twilight Sparkle Part 1 showSpoiler: Simple Ways showSpoiler: There are two side-by-side in For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils show
So, the bridles made it into the show and have stayed in the show well into season 4.

By the way, somewhat on topic, knowing the etymology of "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth," I found it extremely weird when Twilight said it in an episode.
You can tell a horse's age by looking at its teeth, and horses within a certain age range are worth more money than horses who are younger or older than that for a number of reasons. Things like, already being old enough to understand things like the common practices of grooming, teeth filing, hoof clipping, going into their stable to sleep safely at night, that the barn is where they go when it's raining (Basically, barn = your home), etc. Or already being old enough to where they've already been socialized with human beings, or being mature enough to do work or give people rides while not being too old to, etc.
If someone gives you a horse as a gift, looking at its teeth is like looking at a price tag. It's rude and disrespectful to care more about how much a gift costs than the fact that you've been given a gift. Therefore, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Now, Twilight Sparkle... why would you say such a phrase? What is its etymology in your world, I wonder?

Where did your get the comics from? Are they usually ordered online? BTW, good collection. I don't want to tell what I have though.
Hey! Sorry for the late reply.
I got my comics from the comic shop travelling man.
And it's totally fine if you don't want to tell me what you have
Comic Shop Traveling Man? Is that a store or one of those kiosk stands where they sell magazines and sorts? How many comics has IDW created for MLP. 30,50,100? And where in the US could you get them? I know you can't answer that but I hope someone else on this thread could! Because I haven't found them anywhere. Unless, you have to buy them online or at comic stores.
Travelling man is a comic store!
I have no idea how many IDW comics there are as a whole as there's fim, micro series and forever friends.
Travelling Man is only in the UK, I think if you meant US.
They're in Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and York
You can also get comics at Forbidden Planet, I believe. These are in:
London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Croydon, Liverpool, Newcastle and Southampton.

Saddles, to ponies, are kind of like corsets to a girl in Victorian times or heels to a girl in modern times. They're fashionable, just don't seem like they should be comfortable.
True, I don't seem to understand why girls would wear heels but I guess it's not different then Saddles. It's that if there are no humans around, what's the point of wearing bridles and saddles. Regardless of fashion. If I were a pony, I would never wear anything. What's the point if your a pony living in a all pony world? You have fur so that should protect you and everyone around you for the most part is unclothed. IDK, fashion in Equestria shouldn't involve Bridles and Saddles still. I understand horseshoes because your hooves will get messed up if you don't wear them. And I can't imagine what ponies in Equestria deal with when it comes to horseshoes! I do know the CMC wears them because they have left hoof prints before.
Yeah, for some odd reason, fashion is often not practical or comfortable at all.
Back when corsets were a major thing in the Victorian era, women would tighten their corsets as much as they could. This ended up squishing their ribcages, which squished their organs as well, causing a lot of health problems. At least these days, people don't do that with their corsets anymore.
High heels, however... If you wear high heels too much, it can shorten the tendons in the back of your ankle and make it to where you cannot walk flat on your feet anymore. So high heels are also destructive fashion. They can also mess up your hips.
At least fashion in Equestria doesn't cause health problems. It's just impractical, but pretty.
And I'm sure bridles in Equestria don't have the part that goes in their mouth. There's no need for it, and it would make it difficult to talk and eat.

If the show ended? Nothin' would change. Some fans may die off, but most would stay, some may join watching re-runs. My perdiction is that the series will reach it's conclusion in season 6, and the fandom will continue to go strong, but will soon die out or may eventually completely transform due to lack of canon grounding.

My gosh the sonic fandom. I don't hear much about the Mario fandom. I know there's a lot of players out there but it doesn't (or so it appears to me) accumulate a fanbase the same way Sonic, Poke'mon, and MLP has. I like the Mario games but I don't scan forums searching for threads about the games. They're just kinda fun to enjoy on their own, which is nice.

Riiiight... I think you're reading too much into this.
First off, the book you mentioned is a figment of imagination. It was written for the SOLE PURPOSE of evoking emotion. If it was written realistically, it would be boring.
Second, in real life, people that have horses actually have very close bonds with them. To the point of family bonds, even. Do you study history? There was a guy that ruled Russia who threatened the lives of the horses of the farmers there so that they'd listen to him. And they did.
Third, the saddles and bridles in Equestria are purely fashion statements. There were NEVER any humans in Equestria, otherwise Twi would've read up about them and known about them when she went to the humanworld in EQG.
If you're gonna ask why saddles and bridles are fashion, don't. Fashion's weird. They just are.

I'm pretty sure saddles don't hurt horses. They're more so designed so that the human can sit comfortably on the horse. Have you ever ridden bareback? That's where you ride a horse without a saddle. I hear it can hurt you... a lot. Also, people even put a sort of padded blanket under the saddle, so that it's comfortable for the horse.
Bridles don't hurt horses either, unless you haven't been filing the horse's teeth. They simply turn the horse's head, and the horse instinctively follows wherever it can see. Same with using a head harness on a dog, which by the way, is a much more humane way to teach your dog to walk on a leash, unlike choke chains and prong collars.
As for what I said about filing the horse's teeth - their teeth keep growing and getting ground down, and this can cause their molars to form sharp points. These sharp points can jab at their gums and irritate them, leading to a lot of pain. If you use a bridle on a horse whose molars have points, it bothers the irritated gums even more, causing more pain. This is why a responsible horse owner keeps an eye on their horse's dental health and files down the points, so the horse can comfortably eat and wear a bridle.
Also, I agree with Tiger.
People who own horses tend to develop a strong bond with their horse. If you want to ride a horse, it has to trust you and like you first. You have to be friends with it. If not, it's not going to listen to you. Horses are sensitive creatures, so if you treat one terribly, it's not going to want anything to do with you. And trust me, if a horse gets scared or angry enough, you're not gonna win against it.

I guess I started my pokemon journey around 2004/2005-ish. I just liked running around and catching pokemon, naming them, breeding them, training them and whatnot. (But, of course, never logically ^^') I favored a swellow in my Sapphire game. I named him Flaper (One p because I didn't know how to spell) That's all I used throughout the whole game. The swellow. I got him to level 100 after beating the league for a few times. I considered Flaper (Actually, now that I think about it, FLAPER) my starter only because the actually starter I chose, a Torchi, I released because I had no idea how a PC worked. I don't know how I was able to get a taillow so early in the game, but I did, and that was my new starter. ^^
When I got into Diamond, I became more broad about my poke'mon. That is, began to focus more on team-building and getting all the pokemon in my PC up in levels. It still wasn't particularly logical because I still didn't understand the game nor was about of any websites or viewed popular websites like Serebii. That was a time when Poke'mon was just something I did. It wasn't a social game.
X completely changed that. I got X around Christmas and kinda played it. I hadn't been into Black or White, even though I had both. I never bought Black 2 or White 2 and am glad I didn't because I wouldn't of played those either. Poke'mon drained a lot of money out of my wallet as it is @.@ I have currently, Red, Yellow, Green, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, X, Mystery Dungeon Blue, Mystery Dungeon Red, Mystery Dungeon Sky & Time & Darkness, the first three Poke'mon Ranger games, Poke'mon XD & Colleseum, the Poke'mon Wii Ware Rancher, got Poke'mon Snap via Wii Ware, Poke'park, the first 11 movies on DVD, the Orange Island season of pokemon, the first discs of the original series, and a few plushies and figures hanging around. I think Nintendo is happy with me as it is
It was because of Wondertrade and Vivillons I really began to be a fan. It made me become more social and I thought it was so cool when wondertrading you could see where the other person was from. I remember the very first one was from England. Then I ran into somebody in my class who was a big fan and we'd hang out a lot. He's the one that dragged me into the Poke'mon club and now here I am. Playing fansites and listening to video's and reviews. I'm still not apart of the community so much. I rarely use forums or anything or even create fancontent. I do feel like I'm more apart of the MLP community. I don't know why, but the MLP fanbase feels like it just integrates with my life more. There's radio stations, these giant fan RPG's, a story and world to follow but with characters I actually care about, and animation video's that can actually get me a step up in my own life. That's why I feel I can really call myself a Brony.
