Shoeshine is the name of a background pony. She is an earth pony with a light blue coat, a periwinkle mane, fandango eyes, and a cutie mark of two interlocking horseshoes; one gold and one silver. She shares her design with "Bon Bon". Her name is not mentioned on the show, but it appears on the pamphlet of a surprise bag toy released in November 2011. She had speaking roles in The Ticket Master, Green Isn't Your Color, and Hearth's Warming Eve.

Depiction in the series
Shoeshine is commonly featured as a background pony. She first appears in Friendship is Magic, part 1 as one of the first background ponies seen in Ponyville upon Twilight Sparkle's arrival. She is usually spotted with Golden Harvest or Cherry Berry. She is sometimes depicted with a liking for carrots, as she offers Twilight some carrots in The Ticket Master in order to obtain her extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala, and she is briefly seen munching on a carrot with the greens sticking out of her mouth in Winter Wrap Up.

She is often seen in Ponyville's marketplace, such as in Griffon the Brush Off and Call of the Cutie. In the former, she is seen standing in front of the veggie stand that Gilda swipes a tomato from. In the latter, she wears two shopping bags over her back; one brown and one pink.

She appears resting on a bench beside Heartstrings in Dragonshy.

In the episode Winter Wrap Up, she is part of the plant team. During this episode, a version of her with a pink coat appears in a corner of the screen twice during the song.

She participates in the Running of the Leaves in Fall Weather Friends. She apparently has one of her number tags upside-down; one side reads "18" while the one on her other side reads "81". Once the race starts, her number changes to 6.

She is seen at a periodical stand in Green Isn't Your Color. While reading a paper, she glances off to the side, spotting Fluttershy, and exclaims, resulting in a chase and the eventual surrounding of Fluttershy by the paparazzi.

In Over a Barrel, she is a resident of Appleloosa, wearing a pink, white-banded cowpony hat. She is seen in the town drawing horse-drawn carriages.

She attends the Grand Galloping Gala in The Best Night Ever.
