Now, with a foal he doesn't have the facility to care for, he is forced to seek help from Equestria's social services, only to find that the help they can offer is woefully under what he needs. Fortunately he attracts the attention of Twilight Velvet, who intends to use him to spearhead a badly-needed reform.
