Pleased to be considered for an important promotion at last, one that will give her more than enough time to practice for the Wonderbolts - and the money can't hurt, either! - Rainbow Dash buys herself an enchanted set of horseshoes of questionable origins.

During the celebration praising her opportunity, however, she ignores the warnings posted on the object and, in the ensuing burst of magical chaos, she and her fellow Elements of Harmony are all given brand new perspectives on life.

With their respective futures in jeopardy, they will have to rely on their talents and skills and each other to overcome their obstacles. However, with their identities in crisis and in being forced to adapt to situations none of them are familiar with, will they be able to pull through and keep from going crazy at the same time?

No one, least of all them, knows, and there is only one way to find out: the hard way.
