Apple Leaves: Applejack! waving a hoof Thought I would find you out ‘here
Applejack: Apple Leaves? Howdy! Wha’cha doin’ here? The next Apple Family Reunion is not for a while now. Great to see you though, and who might these little sugar cubes be? looking a the filly snug in a carrier and colt trotting behind
Apple Leaves: This is Apple Tart pushing the shy colt up with her tail and this little thing is my sweet Sweet Apple. chuckles Yah, I know cous’. Just here with the rest my little ‘herd’ on a bit of vacation.
Applejack: Sweet and Tart how themed was that, and what is that there little miss? tipping her hat at Leaves’ heavy girth.
Apple Leaves: chuckling Oh, just colt and filly ten and eleven. Out latest additions. Really should think about some names, gettin’ a bit tight. blushing
Applejack: Yah, you’d think of something. So, vacation you said? Finally time to leave the city. Must be getting a bit tight there to yah know. I really don’t see how you can do it tilting over seeing Tart go between his mother’s legs He still on?
Apple Leaves: Yep. He will be getting off soon though, and you hit the apple on that one, but actually it goes a bit further. You see we’d been thinking about leaving the city for good. Eleven foals is more then hoof full in our town house, it more than time to get out of the plush lifestyle and come out here, not per-say Ponyville about aroun’. Definitely will help out the oldests.
Applejack: You ain’t foolin’! Wow, that will sure be a change of pace for yah. I could put ya up at Sweet Apples filly looks up, AJ smiles Not - alot - of room there but we a few spare bunks. Even break in some of you boys and girls around the orchard. Though you still avo-
Sweet Apples: MEELEE! as Sweet Apple’s doll plummets to the ground
Glad I found this pic. I’m sure it was at the time of the airing of the episode, but I can’t find much about Apple leaves and her being a broodmare. Would love to see what fans have come up with.
Oh, right, stated onscreen. At that rate you’d have to work at catching her without a visible bun in the oven.
Just using the show’s canon, and yes PonyPon
Earth pony.
Before anyone else says it.
That would mean she literally spent most of the time pregnant. Remember that it takes a horse 11 months, not 9…
Dayum. How does her poor body handle it?
I do believe that the canon for her as the show states is that she had 8 foals in 10 years
Just figured 5-6 years of gestatin’ plus foalcare plus harvests might run her slightly less ragged than a decade-and-change.
I similes that she regularly had only one goal each time. Putting twins at a ‘standard’ occurence. Be it this would only be her first or second twin pregnancy
Must’ve missed that in the barn-raising hustle & bustle. Sorely tempted to go with M-P’s tendency-for-multiples headcanon just to cut down on the long-haul portion of her ordeal. Plus reasons.
The Apple Family Reunion One.
Which episode is that?
Yeah, in the episode she actually mentioned she had 8 foals at the time.
Hold up: she’s an official background broodmare? Am I ever late to the discovery.
Anyhow, interesting front-carry rig, swell definition & fleshing-out ficlet. But srsly, get that kid in back on cider before his newest siblings need the tap.
