The life and times of Lafayette Ryder

by The Great FATSBY
I fall to Equestria, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back up.

After an ambush on his convoy our hero falls into a land filled with magic and technicolor equines. How will he cope with his new home, will society at large accept him, what do the princesses have to say about humans in Equestria, and how does pinkie pie know his name?

This is my first story for FIMFiction but not my first time writing. I know I'm not that great with grammar so if any mistakes are found please forgive me. I welcome any and all reviews/ Critiques.

The story will get dark at several points but will stay lighthearted for the most part.
Teen for language and violence.
Some characters will not appear until later but will then be seen often.

I posted chapter 1 on June 12th but have edited every chapter several times so the dates may seem odd.

Thanks to Frank Dufresne (Doc) for proofreading the most recent chapter's and hopefully most of the upcoming ones.
