Shining: It’s not that. It just feels… weird.
Cadance: You never had them trimmed this close?
Shining: Once. Arrival day at the RG Academy.
Cadance: Don’t get me wrong. I like fetlocks as much as any other mare. But you almost never cut yours. So… what’s the occasion?
Shining: So you know how you asked me to take Flurry out for her manecut? Turns out she’s still scared of the scissors. I asked the barber to make a haircut somewhere on me to show Flurry that she’d be fine.
I’d have gotten only one hoof trimmed, but then I realized how weird that would look, so I decided to have it done to the other three.
