It might've been pretty out of character, but I maintain that it was overeagerness to help that caused his ineptitude. When it's with Twilight, it's more out of goodwill than duty (he wants to help). With Applejack, it's the other way around (he has to help). It's a flimsy explain-away, I know, but I can buy it.
