Introduction: Many people would quickly dismiss this as a simple pony “clop” (erotic pony) image and move on. However, I believe that there is more to this image than just a simple tease or taunt of the audience’s attention.Description: This is an sketch and coloring of Applejack from the “My Little Pony” series. The expression of the pony is that of joy and happiness, inviting the viewer to partake in whatever is going to or about to happen. The action of the pony subject of the rear suggesting that of a race is about to begin. The tail moves in excitement and anticipation to whatever event is about to unfold before the audience and pony.Artstyle: The art style is that of simple lines, coloring, and limited shading. Note that the original sketch lines have not been eased or hidden.Historically, the sketch reminds me of “The Unicorn Tapestries” of the Middle Ages. Due to the sexaul nature behind both the archaic and modern art pieces. Unicorns symbolize virginity and purity during that time. In more contemporary artwork, the style reminds me of the “The Last Unicorn” movie due to the hairy hoofs and action pose of the subject.Summary: Throughout history magical horses have been the subject of human sexaul symbolism. Such as the European Unicorn, Chinese Qilin, and Japanese Kilin which in a historical context has often symbols of purity (virginity), good luck, long life, celebration, magnificence, joy, wisdom, and children. Fantasy equins will always be and continue to be a cornerstone of human symbolisms.
