I'm a 2D animator who's been a pony fan since I watched the first MLP movie "Fire Fly's Big Adventure!" I'm an old pony is all I can say! My Cutie Mark is a rainbow heart with a black lightning bolt striking through it! It represents my love in various things and it is constantly changing! One of my loves is for my wyvern love, a handsome black dragon named Night Lights
Well its because of their bad rep and some folks aren't educated enough. No I'm not saying your mom is thick lol, I'm just saying some won't take the time to learn about some exotic pets and find they aren't as bad as they seem.
