Exposition in MLP

Would you say that the show has a problem with giving exposition, and showing instead of telling?

For sure, even if you use the argument of "It's a kids show" there's way more than needed (and kids arent as oblivious to this kind of stuff like so many TV executives think.) I think a good example of it is in the cart before the ponies, were not only do we not need to be told AJ, Rainbow dash's and Rarity's motivation (we should know what kind of cart they want to make because we've seen their personalities for many seasons now) but they repeat it over and over until the very end of the episode.

I don't really think that the show is good with handling exposition.
