Never been a huge fan of horses myself.

And they're very "manly," historically. Riding into battle and whatnot.

When did ponies become awesome?

Ponies and horses have always been awesome to 12 year old girls. Horses are large, muscular yet non-threatening servants who obey their every whim... food for thought, perhaps.
Right, because in history soldiers riding into battle on what were basically freight trains of the time are not threatening.

So... the Hub? What channel is that (as in the number)? I want to catch some ponies next week.

If you happen to have DirectTV and live in Upstate SC, then it's channel 294.
If not, you might consider the channel locator on the Hub's website.

Not going to be any ponies next week, though, so you have some time to find the channel. There were some posts about it a few pages back; they're having a small break for one week (IIRC), probably to keep up with deadlines.

We're not entirely sure it's just going to be one week, unfortunately, but it's what we're hoping.

Cavalry.  There is a reason we had them way back when.  Either way, suppose horses has appeal to both genders for different reasons... in a generic way.

I guess some amount of wishful thinking went into that post. :P

Seriously, I'm going to be really miffed if we get another long pony draught so soon after the summer.

I'd prefer it now, rather than halfway through the season (or having episodes rushed out faster than they need to be).

I loved the Star Wars homage at the end, complete with the repaired R2D2/Spike.

Ha, I didn't just imagine that!

...So Applejack ties up Fluttershy, then Fluttershy wants to try those new tricks on Rainbow Dash but is just too shy.  God, the fanfic fuel.  The adult appeal just keeps getting more adult and less subtle.  I once read a fanfic JUST like that, swear to Luna.

And Ponyville is restored by a double rainbow all the way.

Join us. The crazy is at a perfect temperature today.
So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Luna: Lord Hasbro, what about me?
Darth Hasbro: You must never again show up in any episode.
Luna: That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was my non-appearance in the ending!
Darth Hasbro: Perhaps you feel you're being treated unfairly?
Luna: ...No.
Darth Hasbro: Good! It would be unfortunate if I had to remove you from Season One.

Blaarg, does anyone know the source of this rainbow dash?

I've looked all over deviant art, ponibooru, and google image search and found just about every other image they used for that short, but not this one.

(asking here since it's the most active pony thread I visit, heh)

Try e621.net (furry site similar to the *booru's, lots of porn but lots of ponies) and twentypercentcooler.net (a pony offshoot of e621, brand new but getting a lot of service from posters, naughty stuff's auto-blacklisted so SFW unless you follow links directly to images.)
