Are there as many stallions as mares in Equestria?

[Rarity Paige Belle 1,853]

Because I read that in wild horse herds the ratio of mares to stallions is 5:1!

[inactive lol get mem 123]

It is possible that Hasbro took that fact into account when making the show. Or maybe it is because the show is directed around a female cast, so we wouldn't see many stallions in the show.

Doubt it. And I would still not be able to get a marefriend in EQ, even if the odds were in my favour.

I think it's 49% stallions, 51% mares.

[Carbon Maestro 1,003]

Maybe because the main cast are all female, it'd be obvious to see more female characters interact with females moreso than males.

 

However, I feel like it's pretty even.

5:1 sounds pretty accurate, considering Ponville's background pony lot.

[Nulln 754]

Probably not.  But even in real life female anythings usually outnumber the males due to biological reasons.

They are about evenly distributed, as far as I can tell.  There are certainly more mares with speaking roles.

[Commissar Alexer 763]

Nope. Equestria has a severe lack of males....

 

...in which -i'm sure- will the bronyfandom gladly help out.

It seems as though Ponyville has mostly mares, judging from the background ponies most often used. However, it looks pretty equal in the other places of Equestria that have been visited.

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is that there is demographic basis for this, at least for the showmaker's purposes and motives before Season 3.

I think the least common kind of pony would be a male alicorn, since there aren't any at all.

From the looks of it, I'd say 35-40% of Equestria consists of stallions.

[Armin 168]

My Little Pony is quite a feminist centered program, so it makes sense for there to be a higher count of mares to stallions.
