Braeburn

Braeburn is an Earth pony from Appleloosa, and is Applejack's cousin. He appears in the episode Over a Barrel.

History
Braeburn is introduced when he greets Applejack and her friends at Appleloosa's train station.

"Welcome to Appleloosa!"

- Braeburn, greeting Applejack and friends

Applejack attempts to tell him that buffalo have taken Spike and Bloomberg, but he is very enthusiastic about his new town and insists on showing them the sights. After showing them around Appleloosa and its apple orchards, he finally hears about the heist.

He then explains the conflict between the settlers and the buffalo: the Appleloosans' apple trees were planted on the buffalo's stampeding grounds. The settler ponies believe they should keep the apple trees because they need them to survive the winter. The buffalo think they should be moved, because they've stampeded on those grounds for years.

Braeburn later meets with Little Strongheart and appears to be willing to compromise with the buffalo, 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 does not participate in the battle later on.

It is unknown what happened to Braeburn after the war.
