RainbowMau 291 June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 MLP Wikia says that the Apples are an earth-ponies family, but these two pics make me doubt: There are Pegasi (and Bon Bon for some reason) and a unicorn in the second one. So, is Apple family multi-race after all? And for the race debate: Does this mean that other races can be farmers too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Derpy 672 June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 Some of the ponies probably just fooled around a bit. It's no big deal, I'm sure they could be farmers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'aiq the Liar 5,804 June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 Well, eventually someone is going to breed with a race other than earth pony. And unicorn/pegasus genes could be recessive, so there could have been a couple unicorns way back in a couple family lines, and even though two earth ponys bred, they gave birth to a unicorn. Or the apple family just just massive, and that is why cloud chaser and bon bon are there. Or they were bored and just showed up in shot. 2 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,210 June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 I'm pretty sure that as time went by, a few Apples had kids with pegasi or unicorns. Hence there being a few of them in the family. It would be rather strange if the whole family were exclusively earth ponies, especially with how large their family is. 3 Signature made by- Kyoshi Make sense?

duidamasterXD 9,627 June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 I always headcanon'd the Flim Flam bros as distant relatives, and the AFR pic in the OP would suggest that there're other non-earthies who've somehow joined along the line too. Only makes sense, really. With a family that big, somepony falling in love with a unicorn or a pegasus somewhere along the line would be inevitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celli 4,339 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 Bon-Bon, Cloudchaser, and Blossomforth were probably photobombing. That's what I think. I'm sure the apple family are all earth ponies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everleaf 541 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 (edited) Well are are pretty much a Earth pony family however likely some did end up as unicorn/pegasi by ponies down the past (if you know what I mean) but mainly earth ponies however they could also have offspring with a unicorn/pegasi liking taking birth to unicorn/Pegasus in return it may be rare to find other races however it is possible.

Pinkamena-Pills 6,839 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 Wait..So why would we assume that there wouldn't be other pony races in the Apple Family besides earth pony and be shocked when we find out that their possibly is? 2 Oatmeal, are you crazy?!

Banul 3,831 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 It stands to reason that a few pegisi and unicorns would marry I to the family. Not every apple needs to be a farmer either. Even if they were, I'm sure a Pegasus or a unicorn could still help on a farm with flyin for magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaican Jam 112 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 Nope, it's more likely a goof up. The producers are human too you know. Other than that, it's pretty much Earth Ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStarApple 849 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 It's more than likely. After all, there's no rule that says the Apple Family is strictly Earth Pony-only. And it wouldn't matter if there was. Surely, at least one pony would have gone "Romeo and Juliet" over a non-Apple Family Unicorn or Pegasus. And not all Apple Ponies have to be farmers. What about cider-makers, cowboy clothes-makers, apple-sellers, builders, barn-makers, hat-makers, lumberjacks for the aforementioned barns? 1 I was dead until the moment I met you.

Kawaii Besu 28,011 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 (edited) Nah, they just ran out of Apple Family members, so they asked the other background ponies to fill in the missing positions...

PinkieAlliPie 421 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 (edited) Well for the pegasi pony, thats actually Cloudchaser, shes from Cloudsdale so I doubt shes an apple family member, they probably used her to fill space and probably Bon Bon was used to fill in space as well. As for the filly unicorn who knows? It might be an animation mistake, or indeed there could be other races in the Apple family. If you remember the Baby cakes episode: Mr Carrot Cake and Ms Cupcake are earth ponies, but their children were born pegasi an unicorn, because Mr Cake ´s great-great-great-great grandfather was a unicorn, and Mrs Cup Cake's great aunt's second cousin twice removed was a Pegasus. So that could be an option, maybe there were some ancestors which were those races. This is actually a great topic of discussion you´ve brought here.

Landi 600 October 4, 2019 Share October 4, 2019 I'm going to agree with what a lot of people are saying. There is no apple family rule saying that marrying non-Earth Ponies is prohibited. So most likely a couple members of the apple family fell in love with Pegasi and Unicorns. And then, some of their children were non-earth ponies. That's what I think this is all about. (In the top pic, a few of those ponies were just random background ponies thrown in.)

Splashee 28,566 March 28, 2020 Share March 28, 2020 Oh god.... I just had a horrible idea that the Apple family was racists. Good that there are some Pegasi in there! But what about unicorns? My guess is that even if you are an "Apple", you still only choose to be a farmer is you are born an Earth pony. Else, you might leave to other places, but still keep in touch with the Apple family? Everypony gotta do the job they're born into (their "destiny"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
