>Discipline in some unicorn families.
>There is a certain "tradition".
>A way to combine spanking with magic practice.
>Naughty colt or filly is expected to stand still or lie down.
>Get tail out of way.
>Grab spanking implement (usually brush or paddle but can be anything).
>And spank themselves.
>Saves parents trouble, teaches magic and self discipline.
>Of course they always try to go easy on themselves.
>But parents supervise.
>"Hit harder!"
>"Don't stop, keep going! Faster!"
>Of course colts and fillies know disobedience means a trip accross knee.
>Leads to harder and longer spanking.
>Parents also make sure the don't hit anywhere there not supposed to.
>Also give commmands.
>"Hit lower!"
>"Hit that spot again!"
>Young ones forced to give themselves proper, good spankings, no going easy.
>Have to keep going till' parents descide they have enough.
>In case of extra naughtness, extra factors may be given.
>Colt/filly may have to hang there backsides in the air by there tail using levitation (requires extra concentration).
>Or Tell there parents in detail what they have done wrong and why was it wrong.
>But anything can be possible.
>Parents can be merciful tho.
>Little fillies/colt can ometimes feel guilty for actions.
>May spank themselves harder then necessary.
>Parents intervine
>"You can go a bit lighter."
>"Wow, you spanked yourself silly! I guess you can stop a bit early."
>Young unicorns should be constantly practising magic.

>Early applications
>Usually on younger kids
>Or unicorns who have not grasped levitation as well (no problem, they will learn)
>Parants tend to help them concentrate by holding tail out of way, picking up occasionally dropped implement, giving advice etc.
>Have colt/filly spend a few minutes before spanking lightly tapping every area of there rump
>Get to know thoroughly what there gonna punish
>And avoid anything else
>Safety first
>Then when parant tells them to start they start
>usually not immediatly tho
>A few theats of harder spankings and some encouragements and a bit of mental preperation tends to get the first few smacks going tho
>First self spankings go slowly so they take a while
>Parents let there charges gather there courage
>They get more stingy about breaks in later spankings
>Colt/filly is sobbing by the end of it
>Begging parants not to make them swing anymore
>Last 3 extra hard ones must happen tho
>Parants help these by moving inplement back and aiming them
>Alot further back then the colt/filly would pull
>Filly/colt expected to swing
These are to be extra hard so you better make them count!
If it's too light you must try again!
>Filly/colt wats it to end by now so they typically gather there courage and (after a bit of time) give themselves a full force swing
>Drop paddle, start dacing in place
>Parants stop them from rubbing tho
>make them grab paddle
>Help them pull paddle back again and aim (usually for sit spot this time)
>Colt/filly, just like last hit but with even bigger haitation swings down
>occasional repeat of first hit shenanigens
>Last one
>this time paddle is pulled back the farthest
>Aimed at the meatiest area of fanny
>Filly/colt sweating, crying, shaking
Just one more. As make it good!
>CRACK
>They tend to try rubbing at this point, consequence forgotten
>Parents don't let them
>Cuz they do it themselves

>Later applications
>Sometimes colt/fill gets to a point when the can punish themselves without supervision
>Usefull when doing houswork and needing to punish
>In this case a parent tells them to spank themelves and gives them implement, sometimes kids get it themselves
>Parents can be impressed by kid self control and let them choose implement
>A lot of colts/fillies tend to pick something small, like a wooden spoon
>small surface area allows them better control over what part of there butt needs to be tortured at a time
>Sometimes, they focus on one buttcheek until its sufficiently punished and go all out on the other
>Sometime they distribute evenly
>Parents always check bottom anyways, making sure its equally spanked
>And the kids know it has to be sufficiently red
>They also have a marking spell of sorts
>They magically mark spots on butt and with a quick detection spell, they can tell if its been hit there with appropriate amount of times
>These usually end up being around 2 smacks on both sitspots and 2 in the middle of each cheek
>Sometimes colt/filly will get these out of the way first, sometimes end spanking with it, whatever the case it's up to them
>Some colts/fillies prefer larger implement like a bigger paddle
>These land on more per spank but can allow for quicker, thorough reddening
>Sometime this can lead to fewer individual spanks needed
>Some prefer medium sized implements, like brushes for a combination of the 2
>Only a few ask for tools such as switches
>Parents are reluctant to give those
>Harder to evaluate spanking based on lines rather then general reddness
>Colts/fillies sometimes stop for a few seconds to check there bottoms to see where they need to hit and how much
>Parents understand and even give them mirrors to check
>Lots of unicorns have "spanking mirrors" just for this
>But they don't let the kids take too long of a break
I don't heer the smacking! Do I need to go there?
>This tends to get them going

>Parents also cast a spell that prevent colt/filly from reaching there butts
>Will only be dispelled after parent inspects colt/filly's fanny
>Sometimes they have to leave for some reason or are busy, this results in poor colt/filly waiting for them with a sore tush they desperatly want to rub
>Worse part is, reddness might fade and kids can be forced to get some extra hits in
>Usually inspections are succefull and punihment is over
>But sometimes not
You missed a few spots. Get them covered!
I asked for red, not pink! Keep going!
>But thats reletively rare
>Parents might intervene in rare cases where colt,filly spanks too long or hits sound too loud
Alright, you had enough! No need to go overboard.
Stop spanking so hard! We don't want any injuries now, do we?
>Counter spell exists to the spell that tops colt/filly from reaching
>but it's not taught to them for a long while of course
>Parents tend to teach counterspell when kids become adult as an initiation ceremony of sorts
>And grownup kids tend to keep there most used implements and spanking mirror
>They usually end up used by grandkids
