How old are the Mane Five?

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

How old are the Mane 5 supposed to be? Teenagers? Young adults?

I see them as younger than the Mane Six were.

[Sonata~ 22]

I dunno probably between thirty and fifty.

I have that impression as well . Hell, I’m sure they’re even younger than the Mane 6 back when the show began 

[Oleks 1,993]

My guess is they are teenagers, definitely younger than the Mane Six. Although it's based mostly on Sunny's room decor and badges.

My guess would probably be their ages range somewhere around 16-20, so basically teen/young adult. As others have said, I suspect they are slightly younger than what the Mane Six were.

[EpicEnergy 23,220]

Young, that's for certain. I'm not sure how young, but I assume they are either young adults or teenagers.

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

Probably around their early twenties. All of them except for Rarity who as shown in the finale has a piece of grey hair. So I presume Rarity is early thirties. Maybe

[Chadbacca 375]

I'd say that they're probably in their late 'teens/early twenties.

[Will Guide 21,360]

It would help if I could actually hear their voices

Zip and Pip could be the youngest of the 5. Hitch could be the oldest, while Izzy and Sunny are about the same age. 

[Rushing cash 836]

They are probably in their late teenage years to early twenties. Around 17-22 I would presume.

To me it definitely seems like early to mid teens.

The age of the Mane 6 is what made me get interested in continuing watching G4 after the first few episodes. Being that they're working age and didn't seem to be in school, I figured they ranged in age from late teens to mid 20's at the beginning of the show.

If G5 is heavy on the middle/high school scene, then I probably won't be interested.

I'm curious about what people think their ages are now that the movie is out.

They're adults surely? Hitch is definitely an adult as he is the sheriff of the town, and Sunny is probably around the same age since they were foalhood friends.

I think Izzy is the youngest and left Bridlewood as soon as she reached an independent age.

Here are my presumptions.

Hitch: 25
Sunny: 23
Zipp: 22
Pipp: 19
Izzy: 18

Just right for the FBI 

[mlploverlizzy 293]

i totally see them as teenagers or just in there 20s they have very young personalities 

[Gaines 1,225]

I suspect Twilight's school is more of a college, especially since every other pony around the Mane 5 have the usual mare/colt models. So yeah, same thing as everyone else says: late teens or early 20's.

tbh i see them as like college students, maybe a year or two younger 

[Splashee 28,564]

22 years old. Pretty sure you don't become sheriff as a teen.

[CoronelCazzad 13]

I have no idea, but it would be interesting to know. However, I don't think Hasbro is going to say anything on the matter.  

[Sarinabrony 0]

between 16 or 17 maybe..

[Cash In 22,382]

No, I don't think they're teenagers. 19 I might give you, but I wouldn't put them any younger than that. My guess is somewhere between 19 and 23.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I do believe it's always been known that they are in their twenties. Whether that be twenty something doesn't matter essentially. If you think about it, they're all doing something you'd be doing in your twenties. I think though that age when it comes to ponies doesn't matter you're a young filly then a teen then young adult then adult then old haha. We never got much knowledge of it other then ponies pretty much do not seem to think much about it. So I believe mental maturity definitely matters more and same story is true for real horses. Usually a younger horse is harder to control whereas an older one is easier there is no real visual difference between the horses other then them being more relaxed in a sense. They can have a few grey hairs not much other then that. So I assume same is true for the ponies that their age is more their maturity.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,050]

For me, they seem to be the young adults, maybe like 20-25? However, I'm not sure if years translate the same way in their universe compared to ours.

[The Nth Doctor 662]

Given that twenty years pass between the opening and the main plot of the movie, I'm gonna go with About The Same Age As The Main 6 Were In G4 for 400, Alex

Sunny is a baby teen mare. Izzy is oldest. Pipp is the same age as Sunny, and Zipp is a little younger than Izzy. Hitch is a young over-achiever, but is the same age as Sunny. (Bear in mind that Sprout, Sunny and Hitch are almost certainly the same age, while Izzy received the message from Sunny which suggests that she received it independently and was therefore at least a teen when she received it. Pipp, meanwhile, gets on with the young HItch.)
