Aren't you glad y'all came with me

to see Applejack compete in the Appleoosa Rodeo?

This place is a Cutie Mark gold mine!

There's barrel racing...

Roping contests...

Rodeo clownin'...

Steeplechase...

If we can get into some of these events,

we could all three walk off the train back in Ponyville

with brand spankin' new Cutie Marks!

Wouldn't a barrel look good here?

I want a lasso!

I don't know.

All these events look a little, well, dangerous.

No risk, no reward.

Man: All right, everypony listen up!

We need a big presence at this here rodeo,

so make yourself plenty seen!

I want that low-down varmint to know we mean business!

I hope nothing bad is going on.

A Cutie-Mark-a-palooza and a low-down varmint?

This is shapin' up to be the most exciting rodeo ever!

Yeah! Come on!

Go Applejack go!

Phew! It's been a dog's age since I got to compete.

All the rodeos 'round Ponyville have closed down

Well, I guess having injured kinfolk in Appleoosa

sure paid off then, huh cuz?

Just doin' my best to fill your horseshoes, Braeburn.

Keep tossin' like that and I'll be out of a job!

Ow-ow.

Ooh. Sorry.

Say, where's my sister and her friends?

Uh-oh, gee I, uh...

I guess I got so caught up watching you that I--

You said you'd keep an eye on those fillies!

How am I supposed to focus on practicing if you're not gonna--

There they are!

Right where I left 'em.

Aw, don't be mad.

Ouch.

My foreleg!

Hurts so much.

[giggles]

Y'all can't go running off like that, y'hear?

Backstage at a rodeo ain't no kinda playground.

Sorry, Applejack. We won't wander off again.

But, uh, speakin' of the rodeo,

what would you say about me and the Crusaders

maybe competin' in one teensy weensy little event or three?

Look out!

[fearful cries]

[crash]

Applejack: What the hay just happened?

You fillies all right?

Uh-huh.

Sugar and Saltlicks!

Well, I'll be...

What is it, Sheriff?

Is it him?

Ain't no doubt.

It's Trouble Shoes.

♪ [harmonica]

[concerned chatter]

Woman: Is it true? Is Trouble Shoes here?

Man: You ain't gonna shut down the rodeo, are ya?

All right now, I called for a meetin', not a mob scene.

Now as many of you know, the Equestria rodeo circuit

has been plagued by the dirty dealings of a notorious outlaw.

He knocked barrels every which way at the Hoof City Rodeo!

Nearly crushed my Aunt Bay Mare!

He sabotaged the steer pen at Pinto Creek Rodeo,

settin' off such a stampede

they cancelled the whole dadgum thing!

Now, Now.

It's true, we had an incident this mornin'

at our own Appleoosa rodeo.

Hay bale stack came down pretty near on top

of three little fillies.

I examined them hoofprints myself, and...

It was Trouble Shoes, all right.

[everyone gasps]

I reckon I oughta cancel this rodeo

like all the others done...

But daghoofit, this has gone far enough!

We'll double the patrols!

This rodeo will go on!

Appleoosa ain't gonna be intimidated!

[cheers]

So, uh, Applejack, about me and my pals competin' in the rodeo.

Apple Bloom: Don't send us home! It's not fair!

Now quit your belly-aching.

I can't have y'all around here with some outlaw on the loose.

Aw, maybe I oughta call it quits and go home too.

No, you can't!

This rodeo is important to Appleoosa and with you in there,

we got a real shot at winnin'.

Come on, now, you head on back to practice

and don't worry none about these three.

I won't let 'em outta my sight.

[door closes]

Ya hear?

Y'all ain't leavin' my sight.

[snoring]

I thought we weren't going to wander off again.

We know exactly where we're headed: to find Trouble Shoes.

But isn't he a dangerous criminal?

We only need to find him; we don't need to capture him.

The sheriff can handle that.

And once he's in jail, we'll be competing, and then it's...

...Cutie Mark city!

Worst idea ever.

[hooting]

♪

It's another giant hoofprint!

Do either of you have any idea where we are?

[thunderclap]

Uh, maybe we should head back and try again later.

Come on, before we lose the trail!

[thunderclap]

[squeal]

Come on, we've gone far enough!

It's time to go back!

The rain is only getting worse, Apple Bloom.

Let's come back tomorrow.

Maybe y'all are right.

So how do we get back?

You mean you don't know?

[crack of thunder]

Good job, y'all.

I know they need lots of mud for the rodeo tomorrow,

but I wish they woulda warned us about this rainstorm.

[horse whinny outside]

Braeburn?

Where are the girls?

Heh heh.

Applejack: WHAT?

♪ [honky tonk piano]

Fished. My. Wish.

Gol-dang nab it!

[clunk]

Sheriff Silverstar! You gotta help!

My sister's gone!

And her friends, too!

I've searched and searched but no sign of 'em anywhere.

It must've been Trouble Shoes!

Now hold on there.

Trouble Shoes done a lot of bad things in his day,

but nothin' like that.

You really want to take that chance?

Come on, y'all!

Let's ride!

You sure about this, Scootaloo?

I thought I was, but now I'm not.

So I pretty much got us completely and totally lost.

How could this get any worse?

[rumbling]

[screams]

We gotta get out of this rain.

There's no tellin' how long this storm could last.

Look!

Apple Bloom: It looks abandoned.

Let's go see if we can find some blankets or somethin'.

Hello?

You all right?

Surely.

We didn't mean no harm.

We just came in to get out of the rain.

Had some hot cider cooking in the kitchen.

Doubt it survived.

[clang]

I ain't gonna rise to greet y'all.

Awfully rude I reckon, but as you can see

I'm the fresh casualty of an

unusually unfortunate circumstance.

My lot in life, I s'pose.

Are you...

Trouble Shoes?

That's me.

Wh-what are you doing?

I'm gonna unwrap him.

You can't do that.

That's Trouble Shoes!

Aw, he don't seem so bad.

A'course guests would arrive

while I ain't got no pie to offer.

Score s'more misfortune points for ol' Trouble Shoes.

Whoa!

[crash]

[bonk bonk bonk]

Typical.

Bad luck never rests.

Apple Bloom: You sure that's bad luck?

Seems like maybe you're just a little, um...

klutzy?

Tell that to the flank!

Upside down horseshoe.

Bad luck.

Follows me wherever I go like sour on old milk.

Y'all best vamoose a'fore my bad luck rubs off

and sticks to y'all.

Get along.

Skedaddle.

Amskray!

Um...we don't really know the way back to Appleoosa.

But a'course I do.

Wouldn't ya know it, my lucky day.

It's actually kinda sweet of him to help us out like this.

What do we do if he takes us back to Appleoosa

and the Sheriff arrests him?

If I get a Cutie Mark for that,

I'll feel guilty every time I see it.

Say there, Trouble Shoes, you might not want to take us

all the way back to Appleoosa.

The Sheriff sorta has it in his mind that

you're a no good outlaw lookin' to shut down the rodeo.

My kinda luck he'd think that.

But...

is it true?

Y'all like stories?

Mm hm.

Just my luck.

I was hopin' you'd say no.

I wanted to be a rodeo star somethin' fierce,

but I just didn't seem to have a knack for it.

[clang]

Whoa!

[laughter)

Oh!

[laughter]

I practiced and practiced and...

Whoa!

...and finally I wrangled up the guts

to audition for rodeo school.

Right in middle of that tryout,

I knew I was doin' what I was meant to.

And wouldn't ya know it?

In a flash comes this here Cutie Mark.

[crash]

[laughter from judges]

I can still remember them judges laughin'.

I didn't even finish my routine 'cause right then

I knew bad luck was my fate.

That fire for rodeo'in never did leave me, though.

I couldn't keep away from 'em.

So I'd sneak down and have a look and wouldn't ya know it,

[crash]

bad luck would strike again.

Just my lot in life, I reckon.

Poor Trouble Shoes.

I can't believe those mean judges

would laugh at him like that.

Don't ya see?

They weren't laughing at him;

they were just enjoyin' the show!

What are you saying?

If we saw a rodeo clown doin' what he did back in that shack,

we'd think he was the greatest!

He could still be in rodeos, just not the way he thought.

So he's been looking at his Cutie Mark wrong the whole time!

It's not bad luck, it's--

Gotcha!

Just my luck.

Trouble Shoes, you're under arrest for vandalizin'

the property and peace of mind

of the good, rodeo-lovin' ponies of Equestria,

not to mention fillynappin' and generalized mayhem.

Wait!

Braeburn, get these fillies someplace safe.

Wait! No!

Listen, Applejack!

All three fillies: No!

Apple Bloom: But Trouble Shoes isn't the menace

everypony thinks!

Sakes alive, what's with you?

Why in tarnation would you want me to help get him out of jail

when he's the one who ran off with y'all to begin with?

Now if y'all excuse me,

I'm off to win the Appleoosa Rodeo Hay Bale Monster Stack!

Um... Applejack?

[sigh] Well, at least I get me a view

of one small corner of the rodeo.

Figures.

Aw, come on now, Trouble Shoes, I'm runnin' out of mattresses!

♪

you're about to miss the Hay Bale Monster Stack!

Jiminy! That startin' already?

Let's go, Trouble Shoes; this here's a jailbreak!

Ain't no need.

Can hear the rodeo just fine from this vantage.

But we've got a plan to help you live your dream!

Listen, y'all, I'm a known criminal.

How you proposin' on gettin' me into a rodeo?

Woohoo! You can do it! Go Applejack!

Well? How do I look?

OK now Trouble Shoes. You're on!

Say what?

I may be dressed like one, but I ain't no rodeo clown.

You got your Cutie Mark all wrong, Trouble Shoes.

You were born to entertain!

You got a gift for makin' folks laugh, don't you?

But my Cutie Mark's an upside down horseshoe.

And that means bad luck!

That all depends on how you look at it.

You always wanted to be a part of the rodeo, right?

Well, now's your chance.

Go on!

Whoa!

Oof!

There y'all are.

How 'bout your big sis, huh?

Yeah, way to go.

That's the best rodeo clown I ever seen!

Ha ha ha!

Trouble Shoes!

What the hay?

He escaped from jail!

Ruinin' another rodeo!

Let's get 'im!

[angry shouts]

Wait, y'all!

He ain't what you think he is!

Stand aside, young 'uns.

This one's goin' back to jail.

But he never wanted to ruin any rodeos!

Those were just bad accidents.

Sweetie Belle, what're you talkin' about?

Trouble Shoes has a gift for making ponies laugh.

He's maybe the best rodeo clown I ever seen.

That's true, he is awful funny.

He thought his Cutie Mark was tellin' him

to keep away from rodeos,

but deep inside he knew that's where he was meant to be.

He just didn't know how to do it.

[murmurs]

What she says is true.

This here, entertainin' y'all with my klutzin',

that's what I'm s'posed to be doin'.

I know it now.

I didn't mean no harm, honest!

I just ain't never loved nothin' like I love the rodeo.

So I kept on sneakin' back and makin' a big ol' mess a' things.

Turns out I was just lookin' at my Cutie Mark all wrong.

That may be so, Trouble Shoes, but you still gotta face charges

for the problems you caused.

If I done wrong, I'll see to it that I take my medicine

and square my accounts.

Truth be told, we could understand all the trouble

with the rodeos.

But why'd ya have to run off with these here littl'uns

last night?

Uh... yeah, about that...

You really want us to clean up all this mess

Trouble Shoes made?

Maybe it'll teach you not to go wanderin' off

after I say not to.

Ain't it bad enough that you get to go back to Ponyville

with a shiny trophy and all we're bringin' back

is these same old blank flanks?

Y'all helped Trouble Shoes realize what his Cutie Mark

really means.

Ain't that a nice feeling you can take back with ya?

I guess we did make things a little better.

Does feel kinda nice.

So, we can stop now?

Nope.
