Trying to get better as drawing horsie legs... im getting there I think....!

Anyway, 13-14 year old Pen was an era of trying new things, one after another. This time in his life was basically like the CMC trying to find what Gabby was good at to get her a mark within a short period of time. Pen was so fed up with being almost in high school and still a blank flank, so he set out to experiment. Though, oddly enough, Pen was multi-talented in a lot of things. This included sports as well, specifically Buckball.

Trying out, everyone spectating was skeptical of him. He was a big lug of a horse, there's no way he could maneuver around as well as ponies. But- lo and behold- he could not do one, not two, but all three of the sport positions with seeming ease. He entered onto his school's Buckball team with no hesitation, deciding to take the earth pony role. His team ended up winning the tournament against the Saddle Arabian school, but he ended up quitting after that. Why? Because his teammates despised him. How dare he take the place of their earth pony friend and get away with it. They made sure to not share the victory with him, and this- sad to say- was not the first time this has happened to Pen. He simply hung his head low after tossing off his vest, walking out of the stadium to head home.
