Favorite pony puns in the show?

This of course is a show that's loaded with puns, particularly horse themed.  Usually they're place names like "Ponyville" or "Saddle Arabia" but sometimes they're something else too, a la "The Mysterious Mare Do Well".  What are some of your favorites?

For me, my personal favorite is easily "Cloudsdale".  Why?  Because most puns mix two concepts.  Saddle Arabia for instance, mixes  - "saddle", the thing that horses wear with the country of Saudi Arabia. 

 

"Cloudsdale" on the other hand, mixes *three*.  "Cloud" is obvious, since it's in the clouds, and the ending "dale" indicates a town (Riverdale, Sunnydale, etc.) But then the whole word itself is a pun on "Clydesdale," a type of horse. 

 

Put that all together, and that means Cloudsdale= "horse town in the clouds".
