Today’s Royal Games were filled with excitement and Blossom was definitely the pony who made the biggest splash.

Reporter Tulip Inkhoof caught up with Blossom at the Royal Games grounds after Queen Moonshine bestowed a very special award on this very special pony at the evening celebrations. Read on for an exclusive interview with the dressage-competitor-turned-Equestriathon-racer . . .

TI (Tulip Inkhoof):
Blossom, this has been a big day for you. When you woke up this morning in your stable, did you have any idea that you’d become the pony of the Games?

B (Blossom):
To be honest, I just wanted to get through the dressage event – I was so nervous and I get clumsy when I’m nervous.

TI:
Was your dressage performance the low point of your day?

B:
Yes, unfortunately. You see, everyone in my family is an amazing show pony, but I’ve never been very good at dressage.

TI:
Yet you surprised everyone with your incredible performance at the Equestriathon. You’re obviously built for speed!

B:
Well, I’ve always loved galloping. Sometimes after school I just like to go for a long gallop across the Savannah or along the beach. But it wasn’t until my friend Pippa suggested that I enter the Equestriathon that I even considered putting my love of galloping to good use.

TI:
Oh yes, we must talk about Pippa. You’re very lucky to have the human girl as a friend – the island is just buzzing about her! So, what’s she like?

B:
Pippa’s lovely and kind. She has a big heart and is full of courage.
