In this 4/20-themed bonus episode of Mane Character Energy, Shelby and Dani trade in Easter eggs for edibles and ask the big questions like: If you could hotbox anywhere, where would it be? and Would you still break out the bagel bites even after watching an empty plate in the microwave for nearly 2 minutes?

Things get more horse girl-coded as Shelby & Dani ponder which horse would be the most paranoid if they got high, recounting their horses' most baked-sounding sober behavior, and hypothetically choosing between riding a reining pattern or jumping a full course while a little “elevated.” The duo also debates which equestrian sport was clearly invented under the influence.

It’s a 4/20 special filled with giggles, barnyard mayhem, Dani briefly going non-verbal, and high-flying horse girl energy.

"Which is better, Western or English?" The age old question that surprisingly didn't have more fist fights given how **passionate** people can be about defending their preferred discipline(s).

Join Shelby and Dani as they discuss their respective disciplines, what drew them in to their sports, similar/different challenges they've both faced, have a light hearted Western vs English debate, and their serious thoughts on the Western vs English debate.

If the above list makes you think this episode sounds very organized: don't worry, it's not! Shelby and Dani go on plenty of side quests including but not limited to: tariffs, Shelby and Dani's travel plans getting kerblammied, a hot pot incident, and more!
