significantly older than five, but not teens), and that a Pegasus who is unable to fly at that age may never fly, but at the same time, there is an equal chance that they will be able to.Īlicorn PoniesThe rarest and most mysterious of the pony races. As revealed in "Flight to the Finish", most Pegasi are able to fly by the time they're the Cutie Mark Crusaders' age (i.e. In "Baby Cakes", Rainbow Dash implies that Pegasi are not born with the ability to fly, however, the episode reveals that they can gain the ability as early as one month old. "Hearth's Warming Eve" shows that they were once a race of proud warriors, and to this day enjoy athletic prowess as shown by the Wonderbolts aerobatics team and Young Flyer's competition. Pegasi possess passive magic that allows them to walk on clouds and manipulate the weather, which is very important, because ponies are actually responsible for the environment in this setting. Pegasus PoniesMost pegasi hail from the majestic city of Cloudsdale, a Floating Continent made of clouds and rainbows. Each unicorn seems to have their own colour of magic glow. In their infancy, unicorns sometimes have random bursts of magic and while using magic, the unicorn's horn glows and so does the thing they're manipulating. This implication is also present in the very first episode, where the introduction states that Princess Celestia specifically uses her unicorn powers to raise the sun. "Hearth's Warming Eve" suggests that prior to the point where Princesses Celestia and Luna took control of the rising of the sun and moon, this duty fell to the unicorns. For example, Rarity has a magic spell that helps her locate gems. Most unicorns learn additional magic in association with their special talents. All unicorns have telekinesis, which makes them great multi-taskers and gives them an advantage in handling things that would normally require hands. Unicorn PoniesThe race of our main heroine, Twilight Sparkle, and the founders of the capital city of Canterlot. The pageant in "Hearth's Warming Eve" shows that the Earth ponies were originally responsible for growing food for all three races, further proof of their botanical magic. Word of God states that earth ponies do have a passive magic that ties them to the earth and to caring for it, as demonstrated during "Fall Weather Friends" where the race held by earth ponies each year is required to transition the trees into the new season. Earth ponies are the founders of the show's main setting, the town of Ponyville. ![]() Also, the majority appear to have a superior sense of balance, poising objects with ease on their heads, backs or even noses. They tend to have greater endurance than other ponies and have a special connection to the earth, resulting in many of them, such as Applejack, becoming farmers. While being the "normals" among the races, lacking the overt magic of unicorns and the flight of pegasi, they nonetheless have their advantages. Cake ascribes to these being from their long-distance relatives.Įarth PoniesThe most commonly seen type of pony in Equestria. Cake (Earth ponies) have a set of Pegasus and unicorn twins, which Mr. Genetics do appear to play a role in determining species: in "Baby Cakes", Mr. The exceptions to this are the rare Alicorns, who possess traits of multiple races (see their entry for details). ![]() The episode "Hearth's Warming Eve" as well as the iOS app Twilight Sparkle: Teacher for a Day and its Ruckus Reader version Twilight Sparkle's Special Lesson explain how the three races came together to form the land (the episode tells less of the story but in more detail, while the app tells more of the story but in less detail). Pony RacesThere are three distinct races of ponies in Equestria, as opposed to a common misconception that Pegasi and Unicorns are special variants from the basic pony.
