Frulre 21 April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Just kind of wondering? I was thinking since they do mentions it sometimes. Although the only positive things is when they say "Hearts strong as horses" which would mean horses are strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Rool Addict 719 April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 My impression is ponies view horses like modern day humans view Neanderthals. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi 7,871 April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Considering the song in Flight to the Finish, i dont think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,205 April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Ponies are horses with smaller stature, basically. It is like if one would call a human an ape, which is correct. 3 Redeem me into childhood. Show me myself without a shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Socks 2,604 April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 (edited) Do true horses even exist there? Other than being mentioned for analogies, there haven't been any. Besides, why would it be insulting? Horses can be viewed as big and strong, wheras ponies are smaller.

There are also those Saddle Arabians seen at the end of Magic Duel, but it was left ambiguous if they are just a bigger breed of ponies or actual horses. After all, Celestia was still bigger and there are big ponies which can be easily mistaken for horses in real life 2 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frulre 21 April 9, 2017 Author Share April 9, 2017 Well calling someone a mule is definitely insulting atleast to Rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he seems like one since he's so much bigger than the others! I haven't seen 'horse' as an insult myself though, but it's a bit difficult to say for sure since it could be used in different kinds of contexts.

cmarston1 5,965 April 9, 2017 Share April 9, 2017 Well it hasn't been used in the same context mule has been in the show, so I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetolebob18 728 April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 I guess it could go either way. It could be like calling some one a giant, or it could be like saying "you big ape" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
