To become an Artificial Pegasus, means having special implants placed along the spine. This procedure is rarely done on an adult Earth Pony. They take best when the body is young, still growing so the implants become a part of the body, the wings soon become as much a part of the body as their legs or their eyes.
For Dusty Crophopper, he had longed for the wings he would soon use to race all around Equestria, when he was a colt.
When he did get them, he dreamt of racing, of soaring as high as the natural born Pegasi he knew…
Then… he did it. He defied everything his cutie mark stood for and carved a new path for him, earning the admiration of everyone.
But…
That was only the beginning.
