Story: Mating Customs of Species Equus parvus

[Slice of Life]

Author: D. G. D. Davidson

Description: Abstract: In his final and most personal monograph, a prolific and widely celebrated ethnologist and hippologist describes the customs of the Little Ponies (sp. Equus parvus) related to courtship and matrimony. Topics covered include sudden-onset equine infatuation (SOEI), typical courtship behaviors, the prominent role of the equine matchmaker, and the rituals of equine marriage.

But this study moves beyond a mere description of pony culture. It reflects also on the interactions between pony and human--and on what those interactions mean for the future of the human race.

Author: D. G. D. Davidson

Description: Just off Equestria's shores lies the Kingdom of Aquastria, where sea ponies, mermares, and a host of other fantastic creatures live under the benevolent rule of King Leo the sea lion. In this underwater world, Nar Wally the narwhal finds himself smitten with Electra the mermare. Electra, however, secretly loves Arrow the sea pony and openly scorns Wally. But when Electra makes a rash decision that endangers a pony's life, she may have to sacrifice her freedom to save him, and Wally may be the only one who can come to her aid.

This is based on the picture book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea by Mary Jane Begin, but should be accessible to all.
