Dependable Apple Jack

Among the characters Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie,
Rainbow DashRarity, Twilight Sparkle, and others,
the most underrated in a survey was Applejack,
which is how one officially spells her name.Apple in full run
MLP Animation Analysis: Walk it Off
“It’s all about leg-powered forward movement as we look at four different cycles. Source Files (Flash 8 Compatible): ...”
Within the fanatic domain of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, “subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share common interest,” a somewhat silly debate rages, “Who is the best pony?” Sometimes responses are limited, “Scootaloo is best pony,” without rationale or the proper definite article.
Applejack - She’s Country
“I bet no one really saw this coming ... Unless you know me personally. This pony/chick right here, is totally ... my favorite besides Rainbow Dash...”
Applejack and Rainbow Dash are performed by Ashleigh Ball,
who says that she listened to a lot of Dolly Parton
to master the Southern accent of our country girl.
To quote Wikipedia, “Ball is the lead singer and flautist
in the Vancouver-based jazz/pop band Hey Ocean!I wish I knew how to quit you

MLP Animation Analysis: Applejack Throws a Hay Bale
“Once again we’re breaking down a shot from Friendship is Magic and seeing what makes it tick. This time, Applejack tosses a hay bale with all her might.”
The above studies footage from an episode in the second season, “The Last Roundup,” whose focus is mainly Applejack, yet the fourth episode of the first season, “Applebuck Season,” truly centers around Applejack; both episodes show her greatest foible:
When she is over-committed, her stubborn pride will not allow her to accept help or seek help; she will endeavor to complete any task on her own, even to exhaustion or isolation from the friends and family who love her and that she loves so very much at Sweet Apple Acres.
Pardon me, while I shed some sympathetic tears,
because the plight of small pick-up trucks is much like that of our Applejack.
