At Sweet Apple Acres, two mares had their elbows upon a barrel, while staring at each other with a friendly, but daring glare. These two soon engaged in a hoof wrestling contest between each other to see who was the stronger.

“Ya’ll know ya aint gots no chance against me, Rainbow Dash!!” Applejack declared.

“We shall see about that, won’t we, AJ?!!” Rainbow Dash retorted. The two struggled to get the others hoof to the other side and down, but since these two were the top athletes in Ponyville, they were evenly matched…for the moment.



Finally, after five whole minutes, a hoof was finally brought down:

“Yee-Haw! I win!!” Applejack cheered.

“Maybe this round!” Rainbow snapped, “Best two out of three?”

“Yer on, Rainbow!”

But before the two could have another go, two ponies arrived at the farm: Twilight Sparkle and Courageous Heart.

“Howdy dere, Twi! Hey dere, Courageous! What brings ya’ll on down to da farm?!”

“Hi Applejack…Rainbow. We are just here to visit and see if you guys need any help,” Twilight explained, “Though it seems you two have everything in hand it seems.”

“Very funny, Twilight,” Applejack chuckled.

“Do you need any help at all, Applejack?” Courageous asked the mare, whose family he was considered apart of.

“Nah, we gots things handled here. Thanks anyway fer askin’. Mighty kind of ya!”

Courageous and Twilight smiled and were about to head off, when Rainbow Dash called out to halt them, “Wait a second!”

“Yes?” The couple asked.

With a grin on her face, Rainbow Dash placed her elbow onto the barrel, “Come here, Courageous. I wanna see just how strong you really are!”

The brown coated Pegasus had no idea what his friend was talking about, “Umm….”

“It’s called hoof-wrestling’, and ya’ll should give it a shot!” Applejack insisted.

Courageous turned to Twilight, hoping she could help clear up the confusion.

“Go ahead, Courageous. Show Rainbow what you got!” Twilight approved and encouraged her boyfriend.

Shrugging, Courageous went up to the barrel, places his elbow upon it; copying what Rainbow was doing.

Rainbow grabbed his hoof and then shouted, “Prepare to lose!!” She then used her strength to force the large stallion’s hoof onto her side…but no matter how hard she tried, she could not budge it.




**********************************



“Grrrrrrr!!!” Rainbow struggled, but after a whole minute…nothing, “Why…won’t…it…move!?!”

Courageous just sat there, with little understanding of what was happening, “Umm…what is the purpose of this?”

“Yer suppose ta’ bring Rainbow Dash’s hoof down to yer side. That’s da object of dis here game!” Applejack explained.

“Ohh…!”

Suddenly, Rainbow’s hoof was brought down to the other side so fast that she spun and fell down, “Whoa!!”

Twilight and Applejack were amazed that Courageous won with so little effort; Twilight was even more, and it made her blush…knowing her stallion was a very strong one.

“Darn! I lost…” Rainbow pouted a little.

“Oh simmer down, Rainbow…and let a real hoof wrestler show you how its done!” Applejack declared as she took Rainbow’s place…ready to challenge the Champion.




Within less than ten second, a winner was announced by Twilight, “Courageous wins again!!”

Applejack and Rainbow could not believe they had lost to him so quickly and easily, “Oh yeah, you sure showed him, AJ!” Rainbow said sarcastically.

Applejack growled, but then knew one pony that could beat Courageous, “Hey Big Macintosh! Get yerself over here!!” She called out to her big brother, who was nearby.

“Hmm?” Big Mac asked once he got there.

“Come on, Big brother! Show Courageous here who is da strongest stallion in Ponyville!”

Big Macintosh had never lost a hoof wrestling match…even to his sister. He spit out the piece of wheat in his mouth, placed his elbow onto the barrel and grabbed Courageous’s hoof.

“Ya’ll two ready?”

“Eeyup!” Big Mac confirmed.

“I guess so…” Courageous implied.

“Ready…Go!!” Applejack shouted.



For the first thirty seconds, the two stallions used a great amount of strength to push the other’s hoof down, but it seemed to be a draw for the moment. The three mare’s watched in amazement, wondering who would win.

Once the first minute passed, Big Mac was growing tired, and so was Courageous…somewhat.

“Come on, Big Brother!!” Applejack said, supporting her brother.

“You can do it, Courageous!!” Twilight shouted, supporting her beloved Pegasus.

Rainbow Dash didn’t know who to cheer for, so she remained quiet.

After two minutes of struggling, a hoof was finally brought down. The three mares gasped and soon silence came once they saw who had won.




**********************************



“I don’t believe it…but, Big Macintosh lost…” Applejack said when she saw her brother’s hoof down upon the top of the barrel.

“Eeyup…” The big red earth pony muttered as Courageous let go.

Twilight cheered for the victory her stallion achieved. Even Rainbow felt the need to do the same, since she had never seen anypony beat Applejack’s brother before.

Courageous Heart however felt a little bad, “I am sorry if I did something wrong…”

Applejack and Big Mac shook their heads and smiled, reassuring him that it was perfectly fine.

“It’s alright, Courageous. This was just fer fun…and it was only a matter of time before Big Macintosh’s record would be beaten.” Applejack assured him, “At least it was by the hoof of a family member. Right, big brother?!”

Big Mac stood proudly and nodded, “Eeyup!!”

Courageous felt better, knowing that it was all just a game and not a competition; because if it was, he would not participate, due to his standards to never use his strength and power for personal gain.



“Hold on…I think I want to have a try at this,” Twilight suddenly said, which surprised her friends.

“What are you sayin’, Twi?”

“I’m saying I’d like a try at hoof wrestling…and against my coltfriend,” She stated as she stood before Courageous, ready to challenge him.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash just laughed. They knew Twilight was talented in many ways, but never in muscle.

“Might wanna go easy on her, Courageous!” Rainbow teased as she fell to the ground, laughing.

“Yeah, Twilight! Don’t chip a hoof!” Applejack mocked as she laughed as hard as Rainbow.

Twilight rolled her eyes and grasped her boyfriend’s hoof, “You ready? Don’t go easy on me!”

Courageous gulped a little, and nodded.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash ceased any further snickering, and watched what they would see to be “the shortest hoof wrestling match in history.”

“Alright den…ready…Go!”

At that moment, Twilight leaned up towards her coltfriend and pressed her lips to his, giving him a quick kiss of love.

Courageous blushed from this unexpected move by his marefriend, which made him lose his focus and allowed Twilight to push his hoof down onto the barrel.

“I Win!!” Twilight cheered.

Courageous chuckled and hugged Twilight, congratulating her for her smart move to win; Big Macintosh was surprised, but clapped for Twilight Sparkle; Applejack and Rainbow Dash just stood there with their jaws dropped down low…and could not believe that Twilight won.

“And that’s how you win hoof wrestling!” Twilight called out to her friends as she and Courageous left the farm together, side by side.

Big Macintosh waved goodbye to them and agreed with Twilight‘s method by saying a great big, “Eeyup!”

As the large red stallion returned to work, Applejack and Rainbow Dash still stood there…with only one thing on both their minds:

“Why didn’t we think of that?!”
A fun game of Hoof wrestling has engaged at Sweet Apple Acres. Those participating are Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Big Macintosh, Courageous Heart, and Twilight Sparkle. Who will come out the victor? Find out!

Um maybe because you don't kiss or steal your friend's boyfriend? Also why didn't AJ & Rainbow remember that Twilight ALWAYS has plan? LOL
