I just read Goldencloppers' thread of how TE ponies came to have TEs. It got me wondering - what other pony lore is there? Like new Flutter Ponies came from shed Flutter Pony wings, so where do other ponies come from?

Can anyone tell me of other pony lore and links to the proof? :anpony:
 
I don't have any scans but I do have some comics.

1987 Comic #1
Baby Lucky and Spike find a magic window and go through it. They hear crying and find dozens of little pixies who were pushing and pulling a buggy towards them. The crying was coming from inside and the Pixies them that they brought them a present for Spring and to "Take it away, please do"
They push the buggy back through the window into the castle tell the adult ponies what they were up to and said "We met some pixies and they gave us this present. Look, a new friend. She's called Baby Cuddles!"
1987 Issue #3
Baby Lucky and Spike head over to the nursery with Gingerbread and along the way find a strange tent that has Gypsy inside painting. When suddenly the #13 appears and floats over to Baby Lucky. Gypsy tells Baby Lucky that 13 must be his lucky number and today is June 13th. They rush to tell the other babies in the nursery and they all grow exictited. They think that since the numbers appeared while Gypsy was painting they should so some painting too.
Baby Lucky paints 13s on the paper and since it stopped raining he then decides that he wants to go outside to paint...
He runs into Gusty who wanted to borrow some paper to make herself a nurse's cap. Since Lucky had paper in his bag he empties it out to give some to Gusty and she asks him "Who drew these tiny ponies?"
"I don't know," replies Baby Lucky. "I think I'll trace them, they're nice."
Gusty then makes a nurse's cap while Baby Lucky traced the pictures.
"Now there are four tiny babies." he said to Gusty.
"Oh, you've colored them in" said Gusty. "They do look sweet like two sets of twins. I'll draw something for them."
"That's nice, Gusty," said Baby Lucky "Draw something for the baby unicorn babies that lilac one is a baby boy," ???(The lilac one Baby Lucky is referring to is Sniffle's from the Sniffle's and Snookums set, this is news to me that it's a boy.)
Gusty then draws a bassinet for Dibbles and Nibbles and a Stroller for Sniffle's and Snookums and she wishes they were real so she could be their nurse. Baby Lucky wishes they were real too and then the tiny pegasus twins flutter thier wings climb into the bassinet and then come off the picture
Baby Lucky tells them that the pink one is Nibbles and the other one is Dibbles they take them into the nursery and he wonders if Sniffle's and Snookums would come alive as well.
When spike asked if he liked the other ones better? Lucky replies that he gave one of them a boys name. He called him Sniffles. And Gusty hurries out saying they have the other set of twins in the nursery.

I think Baby Lucky discovered Baby Half-Note as well on a lost island if I remember right - can't seem to find that comic or book right now...




1989 My Little Pony Comic #9 the First tooth ponies are shown the Map of Ponyland by Majesty. When asked what the golden horsehoes on the map were for Majesty said that they mark undiscovered places. The horseshoes just appear on the maps. The Baby Ponies then decide to go discover one of the places on the map and they find Summer Wing Valley and discover the Summer Wing Ponies.
 
Aww, those are cute little stories! I hadn't heard any of these.

So Lucky was a gift for someone? That's really cute because I gave my nephew a Lucky on the day he was born. He's still up on a high shelf in my sister's house with some baby pics of my nephew. He just turned 9!
 
:EMOTIHORSE:There was a comic on a mirror where baiby ponies come from, I think.
 
Baby Lucky himself was a birthday present for someone... I think it may have been Spike?

Someone definitely discovered Baby Half Note on an Island; I think that might have been Spike too? He must get a lot of birthdays!


Half Note was found by Lucky. It's the comics from a hard cover book, but it's not an annual. Holds a series of MLP stories.

What did the original poster say about how Flutter Ponies came about? They shed their wings? I'm confused.

Add: I went to check. Half Note wasn't found by Lucky. Dance School was more like founded by him and Spike. I guess I was confused by the dance school and half note! Have started a new post with a comic title so no one misses it. You can view it here:

Briliant replies, thankyou everyone!

I remember from childhood a story of the flutterponies shedding their wings occasionally, and these then turned into more flutter ponies. I'm not sure if this is something my friends and I made up or an actual story - we were pretty savvy as kids though and knew exactly where babies ponies should come from, and could never work out why there was never story about one of the ponies giving birth.....
 
I'm sure in one of the storybooks it said that the babies were born through their adult counterparts looking into mirrors or something like that.

Most of the links no longer work unfortunately. :(
