Braeburn

Braeburn is an earth pony from Appleloosa who first appeared in Over a Barrel.

History
Braeburn is a brave cow-pony and has only appeared in Over a Barrel so far. In this episode, Braeburn greets the main cast at the train station and is introduced as Applejack's cousin. The buffalo have just taken Spike and Bloomberg. Applejack attempts to tell him this, but he is very enthusiastic about his new town and insists on showing them the sights. After showing them around Appleloosa, which includes the Apple Orchards, he finally hears about the heist. He then explains the conflict between the settlers and the buffalo. The Appleoosans have planted their apple trees on the buffalos stampeding grounds. The settler ponies believe they should keep the apple trees because they worked hard for them. The buffalos think they should be moved, because they've stampeded on those grounds for years.

Braeburn meets with Little Strongheart, and appears to be willing to learn about the buffalo and compromise, but Applejack insists on arguing the settlers' case, making them unable to reach an agreement. He watches Pinkie Pie's performance with the Sheriff, but remains in favor of a peaceful solution and does not participate in the battle later on. Braeburn is also the name of a red apple.
