Life went on as normal until a bad harvest season, which was soon followed by the Great Slump. Following her marriage to Ozark Trail, she hardly left the farm except when visiting her relatives – daily chores and raising her two sons took up a great deal of her time and energy. Laziness and apathy were hardly tolerated. Like many rural ponies of her era, she (and her husband) exuded much pride in hard work and the rewards it brought. Devoted to her husband and sons, she also equally devoted herself to the maintenance of her home. Prairie Fire was a typical rural mare.Dislikes: Laziness Complaining the Cold WinterĬutie-Mark = Prairie Grasses with a Setting Sun behind them Likes/Hobbies: Cooking Gardening Warmth Summer Personality Traits = Plain Spoken Stern, yet Loving Not long after Pokey’s marriage, Ozark Trail died of a heart attack (brought about by years of stress, depression and over-exertion). Ozark’s second son, Pokey Oaks, stayed on, and soon met his future wife Sew ‘n Sow, the daughter of a semi-prosperous apple-grower and merchant named Apple Seed. Both of his sons helped out on the farm until Oakey Smoke took a job as an accountant in Baltimare, sending whatever money he could back to support his family. In the midst of these difficult times, Ozark’s wife Prairie Fire died of food poisoning. During the Slump (which lasted most of the decade), the value of Equestria’s currency plummeted, and selling off surplus produce for increasingly devalued bits put financial strain on the farm.

Ozark’s life went on for many years in mundane regularity until the Great Slump (an economic depression that hit Equestria when his sons, Oakey Smoke and Pokey Oaks, were adolescent stallions). His family’s homestead was located on the fringes of the Hayseed Swamps, on fertile semi-hilled land of several acres that was surrounded by dense woodlands and connected by a trail that led to nearby small villages.

Ozark Trail’s family lived in the Horseshoe Bay area and the southeastern coasts near it for centuries.

In addition to using canon characters and original characters of my own, I have also used (with permission, of course) some original characters from other Deviants to not only enhance the quality of my own work, but more importantly to draw attention to the work and contributions of others who also love this franchise! ^^ Most of those depicted in this tree are canon characters from the show or characters from the MLP Comics of IDW.įor references to locations, please visit the following map! There are 77 ponies pictured in this family tree, with a total of 85 if one includes those that were only mentioned as well. ^^ This documents the relations and ancestry of Big McIntosh's, Applejack's, and Apple Bloom's father. Here's the third MLP family tree I've made.

FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF 'THE PERFECT PEAR', THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MODIFIED.
