>>56622253Wasn't it all about picking males that hadn't fathered children yet (thus weren't contributing to the gene pool and thus weren't vital in persisting the herd, since this was lifted from NA myths) but to never hunt the breeding stock or young, to not risk the herd's health?
I mean given she told her husband he could hunt the man from the east side of the plain, who'd taken the form of a rapidash, but hadn't fathered ponyta (due to stealing the mane), it just seems that was the more likely reading of the whole thing.
