Dr. Hooves

  Doctor Whooves or Doctor Whoof is the fan-given name of a popular background pony. His only talking part is when he rejects Applebloom's offer of buying apples, but is then pressured to buy one in return for her leaving him alone. His spiky brown mane and his hourglass cutie mark lend him the appearance of the Tenth Doctor, but the resemblance is a coincidence.  

He appears in the background in a number of episodes. At one point his design is recycled into a pegasus pony in Sonic Rainboom as a contestant in the Best Young Flyer competition. At another point the design is used for a colt in Over a Barrel.

The pony's popularity among fans has been acknowledged by Hasbro, and in a poster created for Comic-Con 2011, Doctor Whooves was explicitly posed in a way that his cutie mark is clearly visible. He is on the very left-most edge of the poster.
