Oooh check it out! Bullet marks on Dollar’s chest plate! I like details like that!

I wanna see more of them dressed like the Rangers from F:NV. These colors just look way too silly for them to be law enforcement agents.

@SeraphimDawn  
Nah, I’m sure they wouldn’t be so petty.

@Clopitor_the_Hydrogenous  
Wouldn’t those skill alienate the earth pony locales? A feeling of inferiority?

@Background Pony  
Or maybe you could send guys that can fly, or use magic? Two skill sets that are extremely lacking in Apploosa, and it’s Earth Pony population.

You’d think Earth Ponies would also be employed in these forces. They integrate with the Appleloosans better.

Dollar Rain could be Marshal from RDR.

@Psychopomf  
What I’m wondering is if bat ponies would be partially predatory, with those fangs of those.

@Psychopomf  
TFW you realize that the Lunar Guards are the one’s that execute night raids, and kidnap political prisoners, and all other sorts of clandestine operations.

I wonder if a Lunar pony would be seen as something strange and ominous out on the frontier.
 
Can’t be regularly seen outside of Canterlot

I must say, I really enjoy Eq-P’s depiction of weaponry and armour. It’s free of the usual over-the-topedness, and the weapons are designed to be actually usable by ponies.

From the DA page:  
Appleloosan Rangers: Dollar Rain (“Sarge”) and Moondrop (“Boo”)
 

 
Small groups of Royal Guards known as Rangers are frequently stationed in frontier settlements far from Canterlot, in order to supplement the local Watch or to perform other tasks such as peacekeeping and protecting transport lines from raiders.
 
Rangers seldom wear the traditional amour of the Guards; enforcement of the dress code is nearly non-existant, and heavy plate and mail are ill suited to life in the frontier. Rangers tend to have strong, colourful personalities and readily integrate themselves into the local population. These same traits makes it difficult to return Rangers to regular regimented service (“Once a Ranger, always a Ranger”).

Gotta love these frontier versions of the royal guard.
