Ep 8. Useful/Stompy!

It's Pony is an American animated television series that follows the adventures of a young girl named Annie and her comedic pony. In season 1, episode 8, entitled "Useful/Stompy!," Annie attempts to teach her pony some useful skills, while the pony tries to prove his usefulness by stomping on things.

In the first half of the episode, Annie decides that it's time for her pony to learn some practical skills. She enlists the help of her friends, Pony's best friend Cheddar and an eccentric inventor named George, to teach Pony how to do a variety of tricks, from pulling a cart to finding lost objects. However, Pony is not exactly the most cooperative student - he'd rather play and have fun than learn something useful. Despite Annie's efforts, Pony seems to have a knack for getting into trouble even when he's trying to be helpful.

In the second half of the episode, Pony becomes obsessed with stomping on everything in sight, convinced that it's a valuable skill. He starts off by stomping on leaves and twigs, but his obsession quickly escalates. Soon he's stomping on chairs, tables, and even other animals (though he means well). Annie realizes that Pony needs to find a more productive outlet for his energy, and she comes up with a creative solution to his stomping problem.

Throughout the episode, It's Pony maintains its trademark blend of humor and heart. Annie and Pony's friendship is at the center of the show, and their dynamic is as strong as ever in "Useful/Stompy!". The episode manages to balance silly comedy with a lesson about the importance of finding ways to use your energy in constructive ways.

Overall, "Useful/Stompy!" is a standout episode of It's Pony's first season. It's funny, charming, and relatable, with a moral that viewers of all ages can appreciate. With its lovable characters and clever writing, It's Pony is a great choice for anyone looking for a wholesome and entertaining animated series.
