Problem was most ponies didn't know what a Giraffe was, much less wanted to adopt him and his gruff Reindeer "brother" so the two were far into their adolescence and about to be kicked out when they met the Sweet Treat Family and their very special Unicorn daughter.

> — Rudy often gets things tangled in his horns and doesn't notice them.
> — Ironically Kona has no problem with his horns.
