KillerKingBakudan 702 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 (edited) Of course, this is assuming the paint was washable and not harmful in any way. I'm not sure if any horse owner has ever tried this. If you could get the right pigments, some fake horns or wings, some garments and accessories (if applicable) and some custom-made stencils to color in a cutie mark, would you attempt this?And which MLP pony would you make it look like?Oh, and here's something for all you would-be animal rights activists.Take a minute to watch this vid. What is so "cruel" or "unethical" about this? As you see, if the paint is applied gently and it's not toxic, horses do not CARE. In fact, this has been celebrated in many cultures for ages. It's insulting for you to think there's some moral debate to be had here. If I see anyone else try to turn this thread into one, your post will be considered spam and get marked.

Coltboy 17 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 If it wasn't harmful, I don't see why not. It might even be a pretty cool thing to do at a rodeo or something. Although I suppose the biggest problem would be making them look not totally creepy. Cartoon horses are cute and real horses are lovely but real horses dressed up like cartoon horses seem like they would have a high chance of looking pretty repulsive.

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,350 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I think chances of that are pretty slim. image.jpg This picture right here shows that this would be an awesome idea. The cuteness factor is not lost on this one. Even if it is an edit. A pink pony would be adorable. *-* If there was an easily removable harmless way of doing this, there should be a cool contest or something for this. :3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdogz1999 551 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I would try to paint a real horse like one of the ponies from the show. It would be great seeing a real life Minuette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyra Heartstrings2 26 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 Most pictures of horses dressed up as/that looks like ponies that I've seen looked horrible.I have no doubt that painting a real pony to look like an MLP pony would look even more horrible-er. No. The humans shall rise! All hail the return of the Human-Pony, the counter of fingers, the destroyers of the barriers between ponykind and humanity!

Untitled Goose Q 5,137 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I would not, because it would never look quite right.

cider float 2,537 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 Nope. Sounds like a waste of money getting all that dye and then ending up with a freakish looking pony. The pony wouldn't be happy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltboy 17 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I think chances of that are pretty slim. image.jpg That looks so much better than I ever imagined. Forgive my previous doubts. At this point the only thing I'd be worried about is how comfortable for a horse a costume like that would be. I'm no expert but I think that'd be fine.

Steve Piranha 29,419 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I guess I would do that if I was interested in having a horse, but I've never been interested in those animals Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moony the Cat 3,702 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I dont see any reason why i would ever want to do such a thing I mean i have no pony or horse and no paint and no experience in coloring animals and more importantly, why would i do that? Just to have a pony colored like in the show..for one day...because..reasons? First of it would took really long to color a horse completely and i dont think they would like that so much. And then you have to wash the color all out again. I guess its easier to photoshop a real life pony. Even though i would be still not interested since the My Little Ponys dont even look like real ones in the slightest. ( well maybe a little ) So a real life pony coloring wouldnt look that good anyway. I think. I guess. I mean yeah, that one Fluttershy picture over there looks kind off cute, but i would never come to the idea to color a real pony 2 Sig made by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the ponies from the show were real, this would also be the only alternative to having them in your house and being called a slave owner. Nobody would object to you having a pastel painted pony that they deem inferior. I'm not sure if the ponies would dislike being painted though. There's no reason for them to care what color they are, and if anything, the process would just feel like you're petting them. No questions asked.

Kiri 7,288 August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 I probably wouldn't because it would be too much effort. Also, washing out the color would be a nightmare, especially on lighter-colored horses/ponies. At a horse camp I worked at, we decorated the horses with non-toxic paint and the color stained into their fur. It took several washes to get it completely out. I appreciate the patience others have to do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco before Pommel 678 August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 I would not, because I'd be too worried about hurting the horse in some way. I don't know much about RL ponies/horses, but even if dye and stuff isn't harmful they might not like having their coats/manes/tails messed about with, having stuff stuck on them, etc. I know some people do that with their pets, but I wouldn't do it with my dog either. I'd also probably completely mess it up since I can barely make myself look nice when I try, let alone a horse The Flutterpony edit looks cute though! But I'd say photoshop is fine for that, no need to get real animals involved wonderful signature by Blue Moon & Wheatley! | cosplay | deviantart | fimfiction | johari window | pm me for 3DS friend code, or just to talk/make friends/whatever! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerKingBakudan 702 August 26, 2015 Author Share August 26, 2015 (edited) Decorating horses with hand-made paint has been a tradition in many cultures for centuries. As long as you're not rubbing it on with a razor blade or something, they're okay with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8CfYF0js5U Edited August 26, 2015 by Lord-Pomegranate 2 No questions asked.

chirox the pony 1,336 August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 No, you'd have to be a pretty weird and hard core fan to do that. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggybrony 244 August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 No. It would be cruel and unflattering. Plus, the pony would probably kick/bite me in the process. I'm not a medical expert, psychologist, psychiatrist, teacher or love doctor. Take my words with a pinch of salt, yeah? I am an experienced cook, musician and care worker though, so that's something.

Kiri 7,288 August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 Horses don't mind being painted, so long as it's non-toxic. Often, they simply fall asleep while you do it lol. What could bother them, though, is adding accessories. Well-trained horses could tolerate costumes and such, but I don't think it's fair to keep that stuff on for long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
