Yet, there was one person in his life that didn't like things, his mom, Spoiled Rich. She didn't take kindly to Crown's new changes. She could get past him being a hulking stallion of a pony now, but his image beyond that as a country bumpkin himbo she REALLY didn't like. It was, in her mind, an insult and disgrace to everything their family stood for, even if her husband was ultimately indifferent to the whole thing.
So, one day when Crown stopped by his old home to pick up a few things he forgot, Spoiled Rich really laid into the stallion. The pony, in return, pretty much blew her off, not remotely interested in what she was selling and satisfied with the way things are. She was so stuck in her rich gal/wife, upper crust snob mentality. Crown remembered being like that.
And then, he had an idea. A really fun, devious idea.
