* TheSevenWesternPlots: The episode is a G-rated interpretation of the taming-the-frontier story. The settlers of Appleloosa have built a town in the desert and established and apple orchard for food, and the episode itself focuses on a conflict between them and the native buffaloes (who serve as generic Plains Tribes stand-ins) over land rights.

The next morning, the Appleloosa gang are all set to hike deep into buffalo territory to rescue their friends. They take 10 steps out of town to find Pinkie, Dash, and Spike right there. {{Glomp}}s and nuzzles are exchanged, and Rainbow reveals they've brought their new friend Little Strongheart to explain why the Appleloosans should move their apple orchard. Applejack tells them that Braeburn would like to explain why the trees should stay (because the grove is on the only farmable land in the area). Rainbow and Applejack start arguing for them. How will they resolve this conflict? Fear not, for [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Pinkie Pie the pretty party pony has the perfect plan]].

* FantasyConflictCounterpart: The episode deals with a scenario much like early America's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Indian_Wars Indian Wars]], settlers taking over the natives ancestral land for their own purposes, without native consent, which in turn cranks off the natives. Due to [[SlidingScaleOfCynicismVersusIdealism the nature of the show,]] things get resolved before they... [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment escalate too far]]. More specifically, it could been seen as a fantasy analogue of the conflict over the Black Hills, extremely religiously significant to the Lakota people (much like the buffalo tribe's stampeding path) but also containing a lot of gold and minerals (and therefore of economic significance, much like the apple orchard is to the Appleloosans)

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The horse-drawn train is never used again after this episode. In "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E24MysteryOnTheFriendshipExpress MMMystery on the Friendship Express]]", the train is explicitly shown to have a steam engine. This train has a steam locomotive as well, but a smaller one than the standard Equestria trains. Perhaps the engine-ponies acted as "helpers", allowing the small locomotive to pull the train up steep hills.

The buffalo allow the apple orchard to stay in exchange for a path to be cut through it and a share of those delicious apple pies. Bloomberg is finally planted in his new home and everyone is happy. Twilight Sparkle's letter to Princess Celestia states that with compromise and understanding, even the greatest of enemies can become friends. You've got to share, you've got to care...
