Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorne. This week, we are revisiting

one of our all-time classic episodes, My Legal Pony. And by classic, we don't mean that it's

in black and white or that it's something that you need to research for a classic podcast,

class, and college. We just mean it's one of the greatest episodes of all time. It was recorded

back in 2014. It's a dispute between Becky and Nancy. Becky said her friend, Nancy's

Shetland ponies were ill-mannered, but Nancy disagreed and said they were perfect just as they are.

If you haven't heard this one, you must listen. And if you have heard it, you know you're going to

enjoy it. Yeah, not only that, we are going to have some updates on what happened after the case.

So keep it locked and let's get into it. Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of

Jesse Thorne. This week, My Legal Pony. Nancy brings the case against her good friend, Becky.

Nancy keeps a heard of Shetland ponies as pets and thinks they're perfect just as they are.
