A group of ponies reside within the small town of Ponyville. Unlike the normal residents of the town, these ponies have a unique job: They are the Caretakers. They protect the town from strange creatures, things that would usually traumatize another pony. They risk their lives for no pay, nor thanks. They do this because they are the only ones who can. They fight the things the Elements of Harmony cannot fight. This is their everyday life. This is the life of a Caretaker.
