The Pale Horse is the usher of the souls of the dead. With such a grim job, most would assume the Pale Horse to live up to the moniker 'The Grim Trotter'. But things are rarely that simple, even with something as ironclad as death.

The hippopomorphic ponification of death will meet everypony in time, from the Mane Six to the gods themselves. But an ending need not be a sad affair.
