    There I wrote a brief essay on the topic.
    Because I was bored.

    The superiority of hooves as portrayed in My Little Pony contrasted with human hands;
    A comparative essay.

    Lauren Faust’s interpretation of the children’s’ TV show entitled My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has characters, most of whom fall into the category of equine. As such, all characters that do so have hooves rather than hands, as would be anatomically appropriate. However, unlike the respective appendage of their non-fictionate counterparts, characters from the TV show are capable of performing action that would normally require the use of digits, or at the very least, thumbs. Therefore, there are a few reasons that may give evidence to support the theory that these hooves are superior to human hands in a number of ways.

    Firstly, these hooves are quite clearly capable of performing many of the functions that a human hand would be able to do such as: Holding objects, opening and closing doors, writing text, etc. An explanation of how this is possible was offered by Sebastian P. a Physicist is training; his theory was expressed as “What is actually happening is that the hooves generate a weak telekinetic field, capable of being shaped and manipulated into performing what its controller desires” (Sebastian P., Spoken). As the ponies portrayed in the show are quite clearly magical creatures, and the fictional universe within which they exist does support the existence of magic, this theory can be easily supported with visual fact, taken in exerts from the show, and generally fits the outline of what should be physically possible.

    Further investigating the subject, Sebastian also commented “The field generated by the rear hooves is likely more directional in nature; directed power taking precedence or dexterity. The field from the fore hooves on the other hand can be classified as one that could easily mimic the flexibility and agility of human fingers” (Sebastian P., Spoken). This opinion also explains how ponies are capable of so efficiently bucking apples off of tress or how the character Pinkie Pie is capable of levitating; using the directional field from her rear hooves to provide her with lift. Finally this also would help explain how the character Rainbow Dash was able to accelerate to the required speed to perform a ‘Sonic Rainbow’ after having tucked away her wings, and passed her terminal velocity; this directional field functioning in a manner that would provide her with thrust.

    Using the aforementioned ideas as a baseline, it is quite easy to demonstrate that hooves are superior to human hands. One implicit advantage of a directional telekinetic field is there is no risk of loss of digits due to accident or trauma. Furthermore, the field can be used to generate thrust in air, with sufficient practice as it seems. Though a counter argument may be raised that this may impede ponies to make gestures that would normally require hands such as thumbs up for approval, ponies can compensate with the simple fact that these gestures are typically unnecessary, and such ideas can be communicated verbally.

    As such, it is safe to conclude that hooves – as portrayed in Lauren Faust’s My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – are in many ways superior to human hands. Weak telekinetic fields that allow them to operate as hands would also allow ponies to perform a variety of other functions which human digits are incapable of.

    That is unacceptable! I must have 20% of the forum's total posts!

    You do not know that. Probably the recent war on those threads... lol.

    Yeah, aiming for 9,000 first, then the goal to 20% of the forum's posts!
