Hooffield and McColt families

The Hooffields are Earth pony descendants of farmer Grub Hooffield, who appear in the episode The Hooffields and the McColts.

Grub Hooffield
Both Grub Hooffield and his then friend, Piles McColt, hoped to settle in the valley near the Smokey Mountains, but their views on how to tend to the land and the animals conflicted. Hooffield hoped to cultivate some agriculture to feed the fauna, but McColt wanted to build some shelter for them. Neither of them came to an agreement, and their conflicting ideas escalated into an all-out feud, taking a toll on the land and the animals.

Current generation
The current generation of Hooffields, led by matriarch Ma Hooffield, live on the west hilltop of the Smokey Mountains, and are unaware of the reason why they are feuding with the McColts. The Hooffields all have cutie marks related to vegetation. Since they are poor builders, their farmhouses tend to always collapse. They often use their farming skills to grow pumpkins, tomatoes and other vegetables to hurl at the McColts.
