Pony Mares on Parade

March has been the month of the pony mares for us. Since finding Timeslip back on March 9, we've found four more high-stat pony mares! Unlike Timeslip, though, all four of them have been marking-less, and none have had the Pepsi-levitating-above-the-saddle issue.

Pony mare #1, Tempest, has a lovely dun coat typical of fjord highlands wilds. Her delicate legs and tiny hooves are not so typical.




She's not very speedy and doesn't have great stamina, but otherwise she's a pretty nice pony. Unfortunately, she is so petite that Pepsi seems too big. (What else is new?) Her short neck and tiny hooves do not help matters.




Pony mare #2 was hanging out on a wonderland beach. I personally find her the cutest of the four: she seems the most pleasantly proportioned, and I love the contrast of her thick, pale mane and tail against her dark body.




Interestingly, even though Crossroad is smaller than Tempest, Pepsi doesn't seem quite as big on her. I guess she must have a bigger barrel? Or maybe the thicker legs help?


She also paces!

Pony mare #3 is a dunalino (such a fun color name!) and also hails from the wonderland biome. Despite her small size, I feel like she has the most horse-like proportions of the four. Her name also seems appropriate, since she's golden and has a somewhat noble look.



She has the highest genetic stat total of all 3 ponies, but sadly, she is too small to ride.


She's the slowest of the mares and has the least desirable personality, so she didn't stick around long. 

Finally, pony mare #4 is a cool cremello from a fall forest riverbank:




She's the fastest of the four and has the most desirable personality overall.

I think Pepsi looks the least awkward on her since she's the largest, but we're not wild about the pony's head and neck carriage:



Hmm, maybe she wishes she was a wonderland wild?

We're pretty sure we're keeping "Bijoux," the lone stallion we've latched onto in March, but we still don't know who, if any, we should keep of these four mares. It may come down to a vote? But if Lily picks "none" and the rest of us pick different ponies, not sure that would work either...

This is going to be a tough one! I will leave you with this screenshot of a laughably tiny patch of mediterranean biome.
