Aaappleooza 41 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 So maybe I read too much into this and just sound stupid, but I google image searched "Appleooza" and they corrected it to "Appaloosa" which is a spotted horse. Come to think if it, every place has to do with some sort of Pony-pun such as CANTERlot and FILLYdelphia so it probably is a double pun for the horse and Apples, but for an Equestrian noob such as myself, my mind was blown. Did anypony else that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Celestii 9,385 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 This kind of stuff usually just sits in the back of my head. Because of that it doesn't really surprise me. The horse part did, but that's cause I don't care to know anything about horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaceon 793 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) Equines are medium to large mammals, with long heads, and necks with a mane. Their legs are slender and end in a single, unguligrade toe, protected by a horny hoof. They have long, slender tails, either ending in a tuft, or entirely covered in flowing hair. They are adapted to generally open terrain, from plains and savannas, to mountains or deserts. Equine EQUestria.

ZStrike37 107 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Pony puns are full of fun! The first pony pun I guffawed at was the 'Mayor' of Ponyville. I actually laughed out loud and giggled profusely at that. Get it?! Mayor Mare! I thought it was the funniest thing 1 So much Friendship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponyvangelist 732 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 The show is positively rife with puns, from the place names to the episode titles to quite a few character names. So here we have "Appleloosa", which is definitely a multiple entendre. Coincidence? I think not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah 3,182 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Mother of God, that is a big coincidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyshredderofdeath 414 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Certainly intentional, though I can't say I ever got it before since this is the first time I ever heard of an Appaloosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas 2,873 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 It's all fun and games, while trying to blend in with their own canon. I find it entertaining, and it's easier to compare our world with theirs. My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feather Spiral 1,892 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Yeah, I already knew of Appaloosas. lol For the anecdote: before I gave up on horseback riding, I was subscribed to an editor to receive info cards (or whatever they're called, small sheets of shiny paper) that I'd put in binders (also part of the deal). These cards were split into categories, from riding styles to horse/pony breeds and behavior. As you can guess, one of them was about Appaloosas. I didn't know about Canterlot, though, I found out later. I take writing commissions.

Radiance64 7,053 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 I'm guessing the pun was entirely intentional, nice find OP. Yeah, I noticed that the first time I saw the show. Also, Germaney and Itaily. That's probably where Photo Finish is from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweets 198 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if they turned France into Prance, to be honest. These are intentional, completely. There is no way these can all hurt so bad without being intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
