Alfred Wight, more commonly known across the world as the veterinarian James Herriot, finds himself in Equestria at the behest of Princess Celestia. While there, he encounters many strange cases, and generally feels quite out of his element. But Celestia has him set up practice as both animal and pony doctor in the small burg of Ponyville for a reason, and he finds himself as quite the fish out of water. Even so, the citizenry of Ponyville are just as colorful as the Yorkshire farmers he's used to, and it just goes to show that people are people, and patients are patients, no matter where you go.

This story takes place before the events of Friendship is Magic.

Rated Teen for graphic depictions of animal husbandry.
