Ever since Discord took over for that brief time, Hayride has been feeling under appreciated. Whether Discord awoke something long sleeping in him, or Twilight's magic just wasn't enough to cure him is unknown. However he enjoyed the chaos that Discord wrought on Equestria. It was the most fun he had ever had. Hayride has taken several trips to the Canterlot Sculpture Gardens to visit Discord's statue after Twilight turned him back to stone. He was on one of those trips when he discovered that Princess Celestia had taken Discord to Twilight to rehabilitate him. He rushed back to Ponyville only to get there too late. Fluttershy had already corrupted Discord. He tried talking sense into Discord and convince him that he should return to his old self, but Fluttershy's corruption is complete, he would not spread the chaos that Hayride so desperately longs for. Hayride has decided that he cannot let this stand! He has devised a cunning plan to trick Discord into giving him his powers, and when he does, Equestria will wish they had Discord to deal with instead of Hayride!
What makes him me: I am an honest hardworking man, and I am lazy when I can get away with it. If I ever had the chance at real power, I would not become a hero. I would be the worst villain that you have ever seen. But don't worry my friends, friends will be safe, I am a very loyal person…as long as you don't betray me.
