My whole lifetime I have spent some of my spare time observing my herd of ponies as they traversed the cliffs, waterfalls, oceans, lakes, and valleys of my house. One herd of Ponies, and their social structure can be as different from one another as the variations of a person's personalities. I have, however, discovered, that there are some common behavioral traits in most ponies.
To begin with, most ponies are quite friendly. Again, not ALL ponies, as I can't account for all of them. Anyways, they're quite intelligent, and actually like the company of people. Ponies are also the natural posers, and thus one would think it's not very difficult to shoot ponies. How very wrong it is to think that. In my case where I am trying to shoot ponies in their natural habitat it can become difficult, because if the pony happens to see you with the camera, she is very apt to wave hello to you, and even strike a pose! Now I suppose this could be a part of the natural pony, but are ponies REALLY naturally like that? That is what my crew and I are out to find out.
It is my theory that the natural pony IS very friendly, but I also think that there's a whole other side to them and their lifestyles. That is what I aim to share with my documentary on the natural pony.
Species Of Ponies
For those of you who have never studied, or known a pony in your lifetime, this will be good information for you. There have been only three mane species of ponies discovered so far. These consist of the Generation 1 Ponies, Generation 2 Ponies, and the Generation 3 Ponies. My crew and I aim to study all three species. It will also be well for one to know that each of these Species have SubSpecies also. For example, a few of the SubSpecies in Generation 1 Ponies include: Peguses Pony, Unicorn Pony, Sea Pony, etc. etc.
Here are some brief descriptions of the Species of Ponies. If you would like to learn of the SubSpecies of Ponies, please refer to a Pony Encyclopedia. They are found all over the net, and I also plan on linking a few onto my site.
G1 Ponies
G1 Ponies are the first ponies to have ever emerged. They were discovered in the 80's. They are the largest of all Species of Ponies, and can have varying shaped bodies depending on the subspecies, but are generally rounded. They also tend to have the thickest hair, and have almond shaped eyes, where the top lid curves more than the bottom eyelid. This species also lasted into the early 90's.
G2 Ponies
G2 Ponies were discovered in the late 90's. They have elongated bodies, and generally have jewels in their eyes. More often than not, the symbols on their butts are not as detailed as other species of ponies. They are the smallest of all the Species of ponies. The top eyelid is curved even moreso than the all the other ponies, to the point where their bottom lid is almost flat. Their noses curve up the most out of all the ponies. They also have better defined hooves than the other Species.
G3 Ponies
G3 Ponies are similiar to their G1 ancestors. They have large round bodies compared to G2 Ponies. Again their symbols have become well defined and detailed, as have their eyes. The shape of the eyes are almost the opposite of their ancestors however; The bottom lid has become rounder than the top lids. G3 Ponies also typically have an extra symbol on one of their forehooves. Their noses only curve up the slightest bit. They are slightly smaller than G1 Ponies, and their backbones aren't as long. They were discovered in 2003.
