Hi all. I was wondering if anyone new of any stories with ambitious ponies. For instance there is a story called 'Lateral Movement' with a unicorn who thinks he'd be a better leader than the royal sisters so he essentially convinces the ponies of Vanhoover to accept him as there leader. Are there any other stories like this?
