Earn my trust, Pony

Pony just wants to give you a great big sniff. His soft nose is warm to the touch, and his shiny dark eyes are so friendly, he wants some affection. Pony's favourite place to be rubbed is on the bridge of his nose, and under his ears. He hates being approached from behind, and wants to smell your hand and decide if you are "safe" before he can relax. Then, and only then, will he accept you as one of his people, and will be loyal to a fault.
