A photo of the "Ponysuits!" panel at Ponyville Ciderfest 2025. On the panel, from left to right, is iRaven, hidden behind the head of their Vinyl Scratch suit, PassionateAboutPonies, in full suit as her blue pegasus ponysona Water Wings, Nevermourn, partially hidden behind the head of their Cloud Chaser suit, and superqinci, in their Twilight Sparkle fullsuit.

I I was very happy to have been part of the "Ponysuits!" panel at @ponyvilleciderfest.com this year.

This was my second time on this panel, and I've been on other panels before, but I think this might have been the first time I was in a con book as a listed panelist, which was quite a thrill!!

A photo of part of the crowd in Mane Events at Ponyville Ciderfest 2025. The main focus of the photo is PassionateAboutPonies, in full fursuit as her pegasus ponysona Water Wings, sitting with everyone else with her back to the camera. Water Wings is blue, with a light blue mane and tail. Her cutiemark is a red and white life preserver with a blue wing extending from each side.

One of my favorite genres of photos from @ponyvilleciderfest.com is "Huh, there's a horse there." 🐎

The photo is a group shot of various individuals who were invited on stage to take part in the mock court battles. They include four fursuiters, Water Wings (PassionateAboutPonies), Princess Luna (@thatlunarprincess.bsky.social), a zebra partial suiter, and a deer partial suiter.

Last, but never-ever least, are smaller photos I took with suiters at @ponyvilleciderfest.com!

The Princess Luna suiter is @thatlunarprincess.bsky.social, the German shepherd suiter is named Aysu, and I unfortunately never got the names of the zebra or deer suiters, so let me know if you know them!
