Applejack regularly competes with Rainbow Dash for the title of most athletic in Ponyville. Years of apple bucking have given her tremendous strength, especially in her hind legs, and she’s quite capable of dominating more athletic sports such as the Running Of The Leaves. Rarity notes in Look Before You Sleep that she’s competed in every single rodeo that’s come to town, and indeed, her skill with a lasso and bronco riding is also impressive.
