This where I'll be posting all my random head canon and junk. Feel free to criticize, offer new head canons or just praise stuff:
Back before the tribes had formed, long before ponies were in Equestria, the Buffalo had reign over the land they could run all day over the land and meet no obstacles, their stampedes were so thunderous the very ground still occasionally shakes with their echoes.
As time went on however, the buffalo drew tired of their running grounds and even more tired of the perpetual heat in the land, the sun would beat upon the land, always, knowing no night. Occasionally the grasses would even catch fire and blaze so intensely that they reached into the skies and lit birds ablaze.
The buffalo pleaded to the skies that it may make the sun stop its heat and they were granted their wish. One day a giant dragon whose wings caused gales came to the plains. With its light claws it gouged the canyons one can see today into the ground and used the dirt to make the mountains before making a perfect, large mountain and sleeping inside it. As it slept its smoke blotted out the sky and made the world grow cold, forests lost leaves and the grasses ceased to grow. Soon the land was dead in its cold and the Buffalo were once again unhappy. They grew thick coats to help keep them warm but the cold horses of the skies still bit and kicked at them.
The buffalo tried to plead to the skies but the smoke kept their cries from reaching to it. Out of options, the buffalo sent several great warriors to the mountain at which the dragon slept. The dragon was fierce however and none of these warriors returned.
As time passed the buffalo grew thick coats to keep them warm and began to starve as the grass became stiff and the rivers became hard like glass. Finally the buffalo grew brave once again as the warriors sons were old enough to fight now, none of them returned either. One child, however, had a different idea. He climbed the tall mountain bearing gifts and pleaded with the mighty dragon to find a new land to sleep in and to help unfreeze the land with his mighty flames. The dragon, pleased by this show of humility agreed to leave the land and melted the ice with his first breath before flying away leaving with the condition that all dragons that enter this land will be treated with the same respect and so it is and so it shall be.
Morals? : be careful what you wish for
Be happy with what you have
Patience is a virtue
Humility is a virtue.

That's it, if you've reached this far I commend you. I never was really able to work out something fluid for this. I wanted it longer with multiple problems, but then it just took too long...not to right, I mean it'd span over Discord's reign and into celestia's. I wanted to leave them out of it and just keep it to the buffalo...so this is the end result.
