Picking Up Speed

We're in a bit in that spot between steeplechase hurdles. We're gathering up for the leap over the baking obstacle, but we're waiting for Cheese to lean into the saddle. The Cakes are about due to call on Applejack for apples. I asked Applejack to explain the plan to them. They will know who would make good mules, ponies they often cater and who could smuggle in the party treats to our picnic.
