A pony is not a young horse. A pony is any horse that's less than 58 inches tall at the shoulder. Celestia is a pony, and the two delegates from Saddle Arabia are shorter than her, so they are also ponies. The fact that they look different can be chalked up to ethnicity.

Brush then why are the princesses considered ponys

@Ariyarathne Withanage Yeah, that’s what I said in my comment. I thought that it was obvious.

@Rosella good theory but twilight also brcame tall like that in the futer.ithink it is alicorn madgic

@Princess Luna ponys are not hybrids try to reaserch before you post false comments

@Princess Luna look it up🤨 and a mule is a hybrid between a donkey and a horse

Did anyone notice that Princess Celestia is more taller than most of other ponies. I bet she’s as tall as a horse and not because she’s an adult. I think that there is some strong ancient magic at work. Something that makes her immortal and taller than normal. I bet it has something to do with her being an alicorn. Now l’m not saying that she’s a horse. I’m just saying that she’s a special pony. Which was pretty obvious from the start. Well, y’all get it. Of course that’s my theory. Hope you like it.

@Princess Luna Luna!you are the one and only bast PRINCESS!!

Ellie Lundy there's a different design for mules in mlp, so I doubt that's what they are.

Dr Shaym but Celestia is bigger than the standart pony and at arround 1150 years old, the Saddle Arabian "horses" are almost as tall as her by then also  bigger than the standart pony by then not ponies

they are mules. think about it, its a stereotype for peeps n  Saudi Arabia to ride mules.<br> just a though.

they are mules. think about it, its a stereotype for peeps n  Saudi Arabia to ride mules.
 just a though.

But they did not have cutie mark. I always thought they were horses

NO A PONY IS A GENETIC HYBRID OF A MULE AND A HORSE


Why is everyone criticising him about his knowledge on horses?<br>I think he knows now 😂

I thought saddles were just a fashion choice in equestria

This comment is older than my little sister

✧𝒸𝓇𝓎𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓁 𝓅𝑒𝑔𝒶𝓈𝓊𝓈✧

I always thought that the saddles represented like a hijab because the pun for wear they come from is saddle Arabia or something

@Portable hole from the future or more commonly, saddlebags

Yeah. In equestria, a saddle refers to a certain type of clothes. Not the "horse-riding" saddle we humans are used to


ponys don't grow into horses they are two completely different species

@alossi ღ no search the web please PS: I’m not trying to be rude🙂

They’re not different species a pony is a smaller horse A different species would be like a cat and a dog

@alossi ღ

Actually that's wrong.

All Ponies are Horses

But not all Horses are Ponies

We actually officially call young Horses and Ponies

Colt or Filly

Colt = Male Baby Pony/Horse

Filly =  Female baby Pony/Horse

@Tori

No that's wrong !!

Celestia is not a Horse
She is still referred to as a PONY

Brenda Ribich In real life pony’s do grow into horses, but in the MLP world Foals turn into Pegasus, unicorn, earth pony, or Alicorn. So you 5/10 right and 5/10 wrong

@jiya_thebanana wrong that is like saying a Chihuahua is a baby German shepherd

Well that is true in the my little pony world

honey saeed ? So your saying an adult can ride a pony as long as it’s twice it’s size,

Ponies can lift twice their weight! Facts with cringe girl!

It depends, there is a species of horses, ponys. But some people call horses ponys

Joie Dragonne it’s a little late don’t you think

that is true but still, how are there horses in Saddle Arabia?

Caroline Petersen no I own horses and ponies and they are two different subspecies

He was just stupid at the time plz dont correct him

Caroline Skitz kinda but it will never grow into a horse

Brenda Ribich well... Not completely different, they are related... But Yeah, you're right

Brenda Ribich no a pony is just a small horse

Brenda Ribich there aren't different species, but yeah, I get what u mean.


I think you're overthinking the saddle thing. Saddles are used fashionably even in Equestria.


Aside from showing hilariously that sometimes Sawtooth does 0 research on things, this still had some interesting things to think about. I wish we ever got to see more of the Saddle Arabians. I can see it being the case that like RL horses, they were infact ridden on. But just not by humans of course. There are plenty of other biped races that could have ridden them instead.<br>And as a headcanon, I like to imagine "human" is a creature of myth that is based on written descriptions of several biped races. Like how "unicorn" is a mythological creature that was based on someone's written description of a rhino. When people get vague with a newfound species, it can lead to hilarious results. I'd love for them to make a nod to that in the Equestrian human. Would help clear up all problems with the slipup of using words that refer to humans and the like. Ugh, resorting to headcanon again. So damn hard to avoid when the show keeps giving us nothing to work with.

THIS IS THE BEST THEORY IVE EVER SEEN, you should have a YouTube channel ❤❤❤


oh god i hate when people say that ponys grow into horses.. :I

@That Potterhead Did you really just try to correct a YT Comment that was made 4 years ago and then proceded to like your own comment? LOL

yep cringe facehoofs if that was the case then I would be a horse

Same! This is my face when people say it: T_T "SRSLY"

+Tegan Thrussell Equestrians are VERY specific xD

I thought it was just 14 hands up to be a horse. .2 is a bit specific if you ask me...

@Maree Thrussell<br>that excactly what i've been thinking when i checked my notifications today D:

um... how did this get from horses and ponies to Doctor Who and Star Wars?

+Wild Card K-9 came before C-3PO, never mind Star Wars IV: A New Hope came out 5 months before K-9 first appeared on Doctor Who.

Wait, they don't!? My life is a total lie!

@***** ok then thats your opinion lets just agree to disagree

@***** his appearence isnt but his nature is >_<

+Lillie Kawaii ok I just started watching Docter who and I don't truly know who K9 is yet.......but I said yet

+Silverlakewolf00 AJ I don't believe evolution but I do know dogs and wolves are both K9's

+Wild Card Basically, but it's more like wolves and dogs. How the dog is descended from the wolf. And how dogs where bred to look differently for what they are used for.

+Wild Card well, ponies are related to horses but.... they are very different. It depends on the speed, the height (in hands), the structure, and most of all how the horse was bred to work for. For instance, the Shetland pony was bred to work in mines, whereas quarter horses where bred for racing and horse shows.

+Tori Cat I've known that from the time I was six. It's not hard to known. He should have known it. 🐴

He said now that it is super extreme cringe so plez he knows now but plez


ponies don't develop into horses...... <br>ponies are under 55 inches

ponies are under 55 inches


Let's recap: Sawtooth was under the impression, when they made this video, that a pony was a young horse (which is not an uncommon misconception; I blame the fact that "pony" is derived from the French word for "foal;" but I digress).  They are now aware that a pony is a horse from one of many relatively small breeds (to avoid horse terminology that not everyone may know: the maximum height cut-off is usually about 4'4" at the point of the back right where the neck connects to the shoulder).

Let's recap: Sawtooth was under the impression, when they made this video, that a pony was a _young_ horse (which is not an uncommon misconception; I blame the fact that "pony" is _derived_ _from_ the French word for "foal;" but I digress).  They are now aware that a pony is a horse from one of many _relatively_ _small_ _breeds_ (to avoid horse terminology that not everyone may know: the maximum height cut-off is usually about 4'4" at the point of the back right where the neck connects to the shoulder).


IN this case, I have to think that there was a play off of something about our Saudi Arabia, and that was their view on horses in general.  They have, not just a specific breed of horse--the Arabian--but also they are considered to be the oldest existing breed of horse still left on Earth, and known to man.  (Google it for all the specifics.)  In any case, one thing I do know is that the Arabian is the base species for many of the known species of horses around the world, often bought and used for interbreeding for the traits that Arabians are known.  They are prized horses in Saudi, and considered a very noble breed.  Moreover, if you have seen a picture of, or an actual, Arabian, and compare that to what is in the animation, they drew them very close to the appearance of the actual horse.  Therefore, it would only make sense that the race of equine from that land would be Arabians.  Therefore, not only are there different races among the ponies, but also difference races among the equines, (Cranky Doodle and Matilda, anyone?)  This, to me, shows what kind of a world this is, with a wondrous variety of sentient beings to choose from, and all living in relative peace and harmony.  We could learn something from this.

Honestly, you cane up with the best and simplest answer I'm surprised brony notion didn't think of this, evidence of this to is look at zecora. She's a different breed of equine and we see plenty of donkeys too


Ok, from a equestrian you tuber, ponies are a type of horse (Equus caballus) but ponies do not turn into horses. Ponies are a size configuration. So a horse under 14.2 hh (1.4 m or 4.7ft) is a pony. Anything larger than that is considered to be horse. However like in dogs there are meany diffrent breeds, horses / ponys are the same. The taller ponies in the show are probably designed off of the diffrent breeds. The ponies that you are reffering to that stand taller than the ponies seem to be based off of the Arabian horses, which are generally smaller than that of a thoroughbred which is what I believe the fully developed alicorns to be based off of. The baby's are yes a fillys/ colts but they are generally referred to as foals,  the school ponies are still called fillys/colts and the adults are yes ponies - the horses are just a different breed from another country in the equestrian world .


I have an idea. What if the more royal blood you have in your bloodline, the more horselike you become. Since we dont know who the 2 Sisters Luna and Tia are related to, there is a chance they were born to an ordinary, everyday Pony, only becoming taller and more horse-like after years and years of royal duty. Some models in Canterlot can be seen as being born to royal blood as well, which is why they are taller even though they are not princesses. They could simply be nobles, like dukes or duchesses. That would explain greatly why the delegates of Saddle-Araibia were horses, and not ponies. They must have been born to a loooooong line of royal blood.


A pony and a horse are two different animals .if a filly or a colt were to become horses they would be know as a baby until the parasitic height. as for a pony they never grow to be a horse because they will never grow to the right height.

Raina The wolf Well, they are not different species but they are in the same family.

Howl Lps  they are the same spieces, however, it's just ponys have more stubby legs and tiny bodies

@Allison Koester  OOOOOOHHHHHHH ok sorry!

@***** In the description, he says that this is an old video and demonstrates his lack of understanding of horses and ponies.

That is correct... You know ur animals well


maybe the saddles are just decorations and there are no humans.

Yeah there aren't humans but other animals/creatures can ride em

The "saddles" that Amira and her husband wear are not saddles, but traditional decorations, on which you can put a saddle.

Look at the reigns as well as the saddles, I mean, it would be pretty hard to talk with BITS in their mouths 👄


Ponies and  horses are two different animal's!

but it was a mistake and it does not matter much, don't worry i'm still a fan


My theory is that in Equestria horses seem to be considered a different species all together. They don't talk and are looked upon as modes of transport.(My example is the last episode in season one; Twilight turns Fluttershy's mice into horses as a way to get to the Grand Galloping Gala).


I read the description, but I just HAD to underline that horses and ponies are different spieces. :D Just like dogs and wolves are different spieces.

About there being humans in Saddle Arabia, I don't think so. Though a minotaur is half a man, half a bull, I still consider that mythological creature a monster. And there has been many mythical monsters in MLP universe (Loch Ness monster, griffons, dragons, that... ursa thing?). As to why the horses in Saddle Arabia wear saddles and stuff, I like to think it as their fashion style. After all, real people in the middle east have much different clothing than what people are used to in western countries. And just look at Zecora. She also has those African styled accessories, suitable for someone coming from Africa. :)

+iRinnda Great point, plus, why would humans be in Equestria. Well, I think equestria might have humans because, well...  I've heard equestria games several times, not being from the show. So, equestra might come from equestria games which means that there could be humans, just maybe not in equestria or unfound in equestria and other places.

Oh okay I see what you mean. Is it like..a thumb is still a finger whereas a dog is still a canid?

And dogs are said to evolve from wolves too

+EchoeChamber
I guess when you say canis lupus (and nothing more after that) you usually mean a (grey) wolf.
a canis lupus familiaris is any kind of dog breed.
furthermore there are other wolf subspecies, like the Canis lupus arctos = Arctic wolf (white wolf).
but still they are basically all SUBspecies of just one and the same species (namely Canis lupus).

thus, saying a dog is not a Canis lupus would be wrong.
like there's index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and they are all called blablabla finger.
a thumb is not called blablawhatever finger - but it is a finger. a quite different finger comparing to the other four, but is is a finger. same goes for dogs ansd wolves.

+Kaddy Cat Wait what? A canis lupis is a grey wolf? Or do I misunderstand?

+iRinnda actually they are the same species, but different subspecies (different breeds). wolf and dogs - both species canis lupus - just the same like horses and ponies.

the point is still valid though. a dachshund will never grow up to be a wolf, or a shepherd dog.
I am pretty small and will never grow up to be a model or basketball star, even though they are humans, too, but my individual height is genetically limited.

same goes for ponies.
horses are not trees, they don't just grow on until they die. if they are under a certain height when they are fully grown up, they aren't called horses, but ponies. that's it, no need for any peter pan stuff going on :P

They aren't different species they are both Equines.


There are ponies, and there are horses. They are different species! Its a pretty simple concept. Although a common misconception to call young horses ponies, they are different. However, it is still very possible that there are horses in Equestria or beyond. But still, the delegates from Saddle Arabia may just be "ponies" with different physiques, just like people from different areas of the world have different physiques.<br>On another note, there are many other other objects humans use which are in the show. Also, the ponies are commonly seen with saddle bags used to carry items around. Also, any of the items used to pull carts a form of saddle. Saddle doesn't just refer to something a human uses to ride a horse/other equestrian species.

Dare not a different species that would be like a chipmunk and a goose A pony is a smaller horse 🐴


I would love to think the the horses from "Saddle Arabia" are based off of the one main breed of horses the saudies mostly use. Seeing as it is Arabian horses, elegant and fast.

I love the looks of them and how they might be based off the Arabian horses.
Its a great things you find out when you live here.


Actually, if you give Celestia a non-flowing mane and a saddle, thet look pretty similar, so there is no reason to think they are horses.


I think that the Saddle Arabia 'ponies' are an entirely different race, since there are non-pony tribes in other parts of Equestria. The ponies of Ponyville and other pony inhabited cities could also be descendents of the Saddle Arabia ponies.  I don't know about the saddles, though. They could possibly be some sort of fashion trend in Saddle Arabia.


being ponies are a subbranch from the equine line they are actually completely different from horses. however horses are shown multiple times in mlp from the deligates to the Clydesdale rodio clown. if you notice their features and structure is different than the ponies. fillies and colts are a young horse under 4 years of age (but since this is mlp we are talking about lets say under adulthood) all the other ponies stay ponies even as the age because its impossible to change into a horse. it would be like a Pegasus changing into a griffin


I can't believe you had no idea ponies and horses are different (though inter-breedable) species. Like Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. Both of those are dogs, but you wouldn't call a Golden a Bulldog. Ponies and Horses are both Equines, and I'm sure we've met ponies (Trouble Shoes?) who were part horse, but just like the canines, they're not the same thing.


Pony is the term for a small horse, generally under 14.2 hands high at adulthood(the standard measurement for equines). A young horse is not a pony, an old pony is not a horse. If they are not yet fully grown, they are still fillies or colts, regardless of height. If an equine of any breed reaches over 14.2 hands high, they are a horse, not a pony.


Lol the title edit though 😂

I'm surprised he didn't delete this video 😂


You do know that ponies and horses are two different things.<br>Ponies are much smaller and stay at around 5-7 hands high and horses can grow from around 5-19 and possibly 20 hands high.

You know, considering how ponies-Are-Essentially dwarf horses, maybe the "horses" from Saddle Arabia are the MLP equivalent of giants?


I googled this in 10 seconds. "The official definition of a pony is a horse that measures less than 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) at the withers. Horses are 14.2 or taller." So if horses and ponies are different in real life, why would they be the same in the show?


Ponys and horses are actualy two diferent species. Height and weight are used to determine wich one they are.<br>So celestia luna and the horses from saudi arabia would all most likely be considered horses. This can also explain why the pony of pop (sorry i cant remember her name) and others like her have longer figures than most ponies do, because they are actualy horses not ponys.

If ponies dont age, we know that granny Smith aged from the flashback of the founding of equestria, so ponies DO age, but they dont become horses.


Ponies don't turn into horses..... horses and ponies are completely different. some foals grow up to be horses and some stay small and stay as ponies..

George OMFerguson that's why the title is bad video don't watch

Which is why it said bad video ponies unequal to horses

George OMFerguson finelly someone normal

December Chill  I agree... why are you guys soooo mean? just say that he is wrong that is all... no need to get harsh...

George OMFerguson no you are very wrong on that...

because most of these people are 12 years old and they are cussing for the first time

@Arimonorikika Morukushinokumime Indeed you did...

@Lulink Oh I'm sorry I thought I said shut the hell up.

I was going to but then you spoke... too bad

Lulink, do us all a favor and shut the hell up.

@George OMFerguson  thats a good idea and the person against you i say people have there own opinion. your is a better idea than mine thats for sure : 3

Why is everyone all ways arguing after the answer that was given because of the argument? Sorry if this sounds like I'm preaching but..... Gosh! Plz stop. Thank you and have a nice day! :D

@werew70playsMC in my party of texas half of the ppl i meet say yall but most of my real friends are not from TX

I'm from Florida! lol! I live in the country side! :D close though! lol! I like you your nice! Have a nice day!

@Rachel Carvell hehe you said ya'll. i didn't know people actually said ya'll... I LEEV EEN TEEXASSS just so you know where i'm coming from with this; we don't actually say ya'l

@StarryNight Mlp sooo... he was a bastard! :D

My horse was classified as a pony for a LONG time. There is a line between pony and horse, 14.2 hands.

@lol I is confused. can I has explain plz?

I still don't get how people just don't see this...

@RavenDarkstar666 and you did... And you'll have to come back because of this message's notification. :)

don't get involved, thanks anyway but its none of your bussenss

@George OMFerguson THAT'S THE SPIRIT NOW SHUT UP

wow.... people are so aggressive these days, all they do is shout (based on you) :I


it could be like Crystal Toyko in Sailor Moon.   once Usagi, "sailor moon" becomes Neo Queen serenity,  all of earthlings gains the moons life span, which i think is 1,000 years?  so it's not just Moon and her sailor soldiers living that long.  maybe luna and celesta magic affected the area where they rule?  OR since it's a kids show aimed at girls, and the word pony sounds cute vs the word horse

i made a show that was called my big horse

+Sailor Swifty It's simply continuing a successful brand.<br>No need to change the major aspects.

+Sailor Swifty It's simply continuing a successful brand.
No need to change the major aspects.


I think that the Saddle Arabian ponies are just from another part of the top world. Like races in our lives, they could merely look different based on where they're from. Equestrian send to be similar to the USA. So, I don't think it's so far-fetched that there are other places in the mlp world, such as Saddle Arabia. As for the saddles themselves, ponies are seen wearing them often enough in other parts of the show, such as at he grand galloping gala. I guess it's just an accessory or some sort of sophisticated clothing.


twilight in "winter wrap up" had a saddle on her back, on her checklist and even called it saddle. Correct me if their was an earlier saddle in the show.


I only thought horses were a side species, much like griffins and so, but just rarer. Or just live in a completely different area predominantly.


Ponies never turn into horses. Horses are simply a mid-sized equine. Ponies are small equines, and drafts are equines. So, the horses from Saddle Arabia are, horses. Equestria, in my theory, is simply a very large population of ponies, while the equines in Saddle Arabia are horses. There is possibly another kingdom that is populated fully by drafts, another kingdom populated by zebras? There could possibly be a kingdom of donkeys, mules, and horses, since mules are simply created by a horse and a donkey getting together to make a hybrid.<br>Just my little rant. .3.

Well, ponies don't age into horses. Ever. I always figured that the large characters like princess Luna and celestia, were horses, while the rest are ponies. I always thought that they were 2 completely different things, like they are on earth. And they're just a lot less common.


There's a problem here. PONYS DONT GROW INTO HORSES. They are two different things though they are the same species. The way to tell if an equine is a horse or a pony is by measuring there hight when fully grown, which is usually about 1year (a yearling). If a equine is above 15 hands or 152cm from hoof to shoulder then it is a horse, if it is below this then it is a pony.


I think that you have the different types of equine. There are light, draft and pony. So, in all reality most likely you have ponies in one area, draft in another and light in the next. Light would be considered Paint horses, American Saddlebred, and others. I was in three classes involving equine, so I'm pretty good when it comes to equine knowledge, I'm not prefect of course lol still learning. But I could see Arabian horses to be living in Saddle Arabia instead of ponies growing up to be horses because well... That just doesn't happen by nature. That's my thoughts


<b>sits back and watches as everyone tries to teach already well known difderence between ponies and horses</b>

*sits back and watches as everyone tries to teach already well known difderence between ponies and horses*


I rode a pony at a stable and it was almost the same size as the "horse" my mom was riding


There might be horses because in the episode "Over a Barell" they say horse-drawn carriages. 😑


Okay, but regardless of any of that...I'm still a little bitter that the show still hasn't expounded upon these random horses at all, y'know?  Seriously, Trixie and Starlight even WENT to Saddle Arabia, and we STILL know next to nothing about Saddle Arabians.


There are different types of ponies, their are draft ponies and draft horses and though ponies can be a term to a young horse or a pony breed, I believe the show is referring to a horse that is 11 hands or lower also it can be a colt, filly, gelding or mare for young to old horses


As a horse lover, I am headdesking as I'm watching this...
I have read the disclaimer, but I seriously can't shut up and let this pass...

This is the interesting part:
Saddle Arabia is interesting in the fact that it alludes to Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia being where Arabian horses originate from, hence their name "Arabian". If you google Arabian horse, you'll find a bunch of pictures of them, but in general they have a dished face, a high carried tail and a beautiful flowing step, they are very graceful with many breeds carrying Arabian blood within them these days.
If you look at the Saddle Arabia delegates, you can tell they are modeled after Arabian horses, their slightly dished face, and more horse like features than the other ponies. So they are the only horses in the show. Twilight and co. are all shorter than the Arabian horses as seen from boast busters. However, what's more fascinating is that the other three princesses, especially Celestia are as tall as the Arabian horses... which means that technically alicorns are horses???

This is the boring technicalities:
The technical difference between a horse and a pony is that a horse is 14.2 hands or taller and a pony is shorter than 14.2 hands.
Ponies have the characteristics of being relatively stronger and more study, they tend to have shorter legs in proportion to their bodies and also look more scruffy in general, although this does vary within breeds. The earth ponies most closely resemble real life ponies in their strength. Unicorns mostly resemble horses with their grace and beauty (Rarity).
MLP ponies will never be horses, they are too short.
Also:
foals: 0-1 years old
yearling: 1 years old
filly (female) /colt (male): 1-4 years old
mare / stallion / gelding: 4+ years old

As to the CMC alluding to horses, I do believe they are referring to draft horses, generally the strong heavy type that pulled heavy carts in 18th century London. "Hearts as strong as horses".

@Tearsong the Brony Notion is his old username

@Nokota Silver
They aren't different species... it's an arbitrary distinction between the different heights of equines.
Horses and ponies can still interbreed and produce fertile and healthy offspring, which means scientifically they are the same species.

+The Brony Notion Sooo why don't you re-do this video? Or something? I don't know anything about horses and even I know they're different species.

@Blue Flame starlight glimmer seems like she could become a terrorist pony, I mean she brainwashes ponies...

I think that, just like the theory of Spike being an eternal baby dragon, ponnys grow up different, that could explain why Dr whoves and Big Mc are diferent, even knowing that Dr Whoves could be older than BM, but still shorter.


The truth, though, is that ponies and horses are not two stages of development of a single animal. They're actually different, although related and quite similar, creatures. Ponies remain small when they're fully grown. All types of horses are known as equines.


Tirek is a centaur, half-human, half-horse. Though, in Tirek's case it's more like half-ape.


Ponies and horses are completely different classes(in some cases species) but it primarily realized on height rather than age. Horses are tall and ponies are not. There's a specific height at which ponies reach horsehood but I can't remember it off the top of my head... Take this example; a Shetland pony can be 43 years old and a race horse can be 7 years, but since the race horse is taller and thus at least the specified height, it is considered a horse rather than a pony.

Where this puts the princesses however......I have no idea.


I disagree with your never land idea because when Luna first breaked out of her nightmare moon form she was little an small.  Yet like a few episodes later, she has gained her flowing hair and is as tall as celistia.  Instead, I think that equestria is based off of The United States because... 1. All the puns.  "Manehatten" is a play on words for manhattan, and where is manhattan located?  The USA.  Cantrolot could be like the big apple because they are similar with population and stores!


At first I thought you were joking or something...Then read the description......I'm shocked you didn't know the differences between horses and ponies just a year ago! Then again.....Nice video!


I think horses are a different species of equine just like Zebra's are. I think they simply admire horses.<br>I don't think that ponies are immortal.

I don't think that ponies are immortal.


all theories with proof supporting the theory are always good theories. whether this theory is most likely or most unlikely to be true, it's a great theory


You have some good ideas, but based, I think, off some misinformation. You seem to be under the impression the horses are adult versions of ponies. In fact, ponies are actually a subset of horse species that are small (less than 14.2 hands, according to Wikipedia) as an adult. A horse is a horse its whole life, regardless of height when it's a foal. <br>You also brought up a point about saddles being human tools. In Equestria, they seem to be decorative or the equivalent of jackets. Twilight puts one on in the intro to Winter Wrap Up. As for Iron Will, he doesn't have any uniquely human characteristics. He's more like an anthropomorphic bull than half human and half bull. There's also the fact that the creators of the show have stated that humans don't exist in the universe of MLP, but those statements aren't completely canon.

horses amd ponies are diffrent
if you are born as pony you stay pony
if you are born as a horse you stay a horse

Um actually if you are born a foal you become a horse🤓

+Amaya Teh Wolfy Did you know? On Iceland, "Pony" is an insult.

+Charlie Horton HEY WHY U BEING RUDE?! BRONY IS GREAT

+Ina MARINČIČ there is an annotation if you bother to READ anything

+Kyra Staythaklos ...Horses and Ponies are different equines, Horses are larger than ponies, once a pony reaches a certain height its considered a horse, not a pony. Ponies only reach, 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) anything taller is a horse


The horses could just be an entirely different species of equine. And ponies wear decorative saddles too, twilight has before


You make a good point but in S:1 E:1 Rarity gave Twilight a outfit that looked like a horse saddle


"Final stage?" Dude, the final stage of life is ELDERLY. It's not adulthood.


I think that each continent, or country, in Equestria has its own kind of creature. Like the territory where  Canterlot and Ponyville are might be where ponies are found, and  maybe Zecora is some sort of immigrant from another country in Equestria, like the equestrian Africa.


a pony must be under 1,64 meters (or something simular (american 1.64 m or 5.4 feet))
but a horse under 1,64 meters isnt a pony
that is complicated


I think that, although I really love your channel, I can allow me to dislike this video this once for several reasons :
1. You present the fact that ponies are ful-growned as a theorie, that means that you doubt of it, whereas it is a FACT !
2. You contradict it with simple plays on words and another theorie that MEANS NOTHING ! If the ponies from Saddle Arabia were horses, and then older than ponies, that should be felt on the relationship between the both. Moreover, you can't estimate a pony's age only based on a shape. And why would they have serious and lucrative jobs if they're just kids ?
3. You cannot say that the egs are cannon,
4. and you can even less intriduce them in Equestria !
By the way, I love all your other videos, just not this one.

Oh. It's only now after having posted this comment that I do read and understand the title. All my apologies.


saddles in my little pony would just be some fashion style like when you saw twilight squeeze herself into one


basically a pony and a horse are two different animals, there is slight proof that Celestia is a horse/alicorn and Luna which explained there body differences. where as granny Smith, even as a young woman (family reunion) she is still fairly simarlar to a teenage pony


Horses and ponies are different species, the two species are related but don't turn into one or another as they age. The ponies from saddle araibia have a different DNA structure making them look more like real horses in there universe ( example in friendship through the ages)


there are diferent species of equines in that world, some are smaler and cute (but reach adulhood) and some are bigger.  And dont feel bad about calling pony a horse that is growing, many people do it.


I think the saddles are like acssessorys for the horses. Like the things that Luna and Celestia wear.


i like to think of the mlp generations as a timeline and in earlier generations in mlp there WERE humans (although odd and creepy)<br>but there aren't any in modern equestria therefore humans MUST be an extinct species and saddles are just leftover from that time period

Id like to see an episode were they go to a human kingdom and see the wars we have with one another based on race and religion and are disgusted at us eating meat. (possibly having Twi freaking out what hamburgers are made from from equestria girls) the whole episode could revolve around how war while necessary should only be done as a last resort and not the good to solution like most of the world in the dark ages but their are many ways humans existing in the world could play out and if they do so I'll look forward to seeing it happen


May you please do a theory on the human counterpart of Flurry Heart?


What about ponies like Fleur De Lis?(sorry for spelling lol) Would she be considered a horse with her looks? And I doubt there are humans in that universe, I think saddles are just a fashion statement.


Was it ever made canon that Alicorn growth rate was slower than a regular pony? ~ Mintstar


Perhaps saddles are only a stylish choice of the delegates and the other ponys/horses (whatever) at Saddle Arabia. I mean at Equestria there are gowns like those Rarity is making, so I think it's just a thing they are used to. As in our world, not every human wears the same outfits (e.g pants/quilts) it could be the same in Equestria (qowns/saddles). Just sayin'...


In the 1989 series there was the human Megan who visited the ponies from time to time. I'm still waiting for her to make an appearance. You may be on to something.


What about Granny Smith? In one episode that (I can't remember the name) she shows her family when she moved to ponyvile and when she was a filly there. Obviously, she has grown up.


Ponies are miniature horses. That's it. They're the same species, ponies are just tiny horses.


a pony is a little different from horses. also young horses are called foals. ponies never grow as big as horses. horses and ponies are like.... cats and small wild cats.


I know this is an older video, but - A pony isn't a young horse, they're basically different breeds as far as I understand. They're the same species, but ponies are traditionally smaller, have shorter legs, and thicker manes/tails, etc.


You’re probably right in this theory. I believe it’s true.


What if the minoutaurs enslaved the saddle horses? most likely this is incorrect cause the delegates look happy and calm


I always thought that ponies and horses are like many other domestic animals. Horses and ponies are equines, but of a different subspecies. Am I wrong?


Well, some ponies probably even keep horses as pets like humans do. xP


I really hope you understand that most of the time you overthink the show.


when you  always see horses wearing them

when you  always see horses wearing them


ponys are different from horses they are smaller and sometimes grow into small horses but they mostly stay a pony


OK sir...
do pony's in real life turn into horses?
NO THEY DONT.


Ponies aren't horses. They are a genetic hybrid between a horse and a mule. And if the ponies can't age, that means the baby Cakes will always stay babies. I feel sorry for Mr. & Mrs. Cake

@***** Yes, we've been over this in the large comment string several times.

WHOA whoa whoa.... Ponies are NOT a horse mule crossbreed. They are just smaller horses basically and have a different body type..

Ponies are NOT a crossbreed of horses and mules. They are just smaller in size and have a slightly different body structure, then horses such as the Shetland Pony.

Mules are STERILE!!!! (Anyone? Anyone? Nope? No reference catchers?)

Being a genetic mutation, mules are sterile, as are many other genetic mutations, leucian tigers being one of them. Because of the bucked-up genetics, they are unable to produce fertile reproductive, er, equipment, shall we say, which is why you have never seen and will never see a mule breeder.

Wait wasn't a genetic hybrid between a horse and a mule...well impossible since a mule is one of the possible hybrids from a horse and a donkey and the mule itself would be sterile?
I can't recall the other one though...had something to do with the horse being the mother or the donkey. I guess a mule is more common, since that requires the mother to be a horse and so the birth can be done naturally. With the donkey being the mother there are more complications expected.

Were ponys not just "small breaded" horses?

Also who came up with that a pony becomes a horse junk?
I would just suggest differences in people caricatured by the types of animal. And as there are different kind of humans, with different normal height why not using ponys and horses to make this clear?

And the saddles, to come back to the whole thing, aren't looking like made just to make it easier to ride on the horses. I would suggest it was the easiest way of fashion. Other country other fashion senses.

@Jenna Love Same reason for us not having millions of majestic Ligers. Genetic hybrids can't repopulate and that's just sad.

@Jenna Love It would be quite a problem if any male cat had babies

@Jenna Love It would be quite a problem if any male cat had babies

@***** That is a comment sin. Never comment "lol" on anything. Nobody cares.

thanks for the info but comment to the bony nation this vid is based of of shit

Incorrect. There are physical differences beyond height that differentiate a horse from a pony. Leg length, body build, neck length, head shape, and mane and body hair differ between horses and ponies. While ponies tend to be shorter than horses, this is not their defining trait.

@KingZolem How can a horse be smaller than a pony? Wouldn't it be called a pony...

@hannah<br>Incorrect. There are horse breeds smaller than ponies, and ponies larger than some varieties of horses.

@hannah
Incorrect. There are horse breeds smaller than ponies, and ponies larger than some varieties of horses.

+eoin gough

Horses and ponies are the same species
They are separated by height difference
Shetlands are a breed of horse just like a boxer in the dog species

Mules can't sexually reproduce, But the specific reproductive way Between a horse and a mule is called A Gypsy

PONIES ARE PONIES!!!!! THEY ARE CALLED PONIES BECAUSE THEY ARE SMALL HORSES!!!! OMG!!!! AS PUPPY PIE SAID A HORSE THAT IS OVER 14.5 HANDS IS CONSIDERED A HORSE ANY HORSE UNDER 14.5 HANDS IS A PONY.....Though I have always thought it was an even 15 hands.....BUT WHATEVER.....THATS IT!!! A MULE CAN NOT HAVE BABIES BECAUSE MULES ARE STERILE!!!! ALL MULES ARE STERILE!!!! ITS A GENETIC FLUKE THAT HAPPENS FROM BREEDING HORSES WITH DONKEYS!!! BECAUSE HORSES AND DONKEYS ARE IN THE SAME CLASS FAMILY THEY CAN MATE BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME SPECIES THEIR OFFSPRING COME OUT UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THUS YOU GET AN ANIMAL WITH THE SIZE OF A HORSE AND THE STRENGTH OF A DONKEY BUT IT CAN NOT HAVE BABIES!!!! OMG I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STUDY UP ON THINGS BEFORE THEY POST!!!

Dash drawer....-_- they can get to about 30. But they usually don't.

Dash drawer....-_- they can get to about 30. But they usually don't.

They aren't a "Hybrid" they're a different breed of Horse. Do you own any? I do. The Hybrid between a horse and a mule would be either a horse, or a mule. -_-

@BraidHorse123 Crazy doesn't exactly fit with me giving a slightly inaccurate definition of "pony"

That would be the wrong use as Crazy means Deranged or mentally unstable.

@BraidHorse123 I don't think you understand the definition of "crazy"

@BraidHorse123 I don't think you understand the definition of "crazy"

@Ronge Fox  No, that isn't true. If you can show me REAL proof, then I might believe you but you are making a crazy argument with absolutely NO proof whatsoever.

@BraidHorse123 It doesn't necessarily have to be a small breed though it could just be a horse that didn't grow as big as it was supposed to

@Ronge Fox  No actually according the the Dictionary a Pony is the following:
a horse of a small breed, especially one whose height at the withers is below 14 hands 2 inches (58 inches).
NOT a premature or horse that stopped growing early.

@pnygrl99 No ponies are just horses that stopped growing early

@pnygrl99 No ponies are just horses that stopped growing early

Ponies aren't cross between horses and mule. They bred ponies by breeding small horses over many generations and over time they became ponies.

They aren't their own breed but they do get bigger

They aren't their own breed but they do get bigger

actually in mlp cadence and twilight aged as it showed in "A Canterlot Wedding" and they are their own breed they do get bigger but stay a certain hight in their lives.

I actually feel  happy for them, the get to keep there adorable little fillys!

@***** Ponies and horses are the same species

@BraidHorse123 Yeah every book you've read lied. It's 14.2 using the hand scale.

THEN EVERY BOOK I HAVE EVER READ LIED! That's really sad. Who can you trust now? Although I prefer to stay with my feelings about it, thank you very much. And I'm not talking about the MLP scale, a real horse's.

@BraidHorse123 Nope it's 14.2. I just typed out a huge explanation up there /\ about the apple scale being about the same as the hand scale and genetics and whatnot if y'all feel like reading it. I think there's some pretty good logic in it.

@Sarah Forrester I think its thirteen point two

@Sarah Forrester I think its thirteen point two

they are not bred between horse and mule I have been riding for 4 years

they are not bred between horse and mule I have been riding for 4 years

@Chloe May yeah, thanks for pointing that out. my mistake, thanks for correcting me.

Ponies aren't a hybrid betwqeen mule and horse, because a mule is a donkey and a horse, so a mule/horse would be amule

Good Job Sarah Forrester that is correct :)<br>

Good Job Sarah Forrester that is correct :)

mule are donkeys bred with horses, mutant breeds can reproduce

mule are donkeys bred with horses, mutant breeds can reproduce

Ponies are actually horses under 14.2 hands high :) (1.4m)

Ponies are actually horses under 14.2 hands high :) (1.4m)

@MinnaLido Huh. I've always thought they were a cross breed. The more you know XD

It is genetically impossible for a mule to have babies, and ponies are just horses that don't grow very big. If two big horses had a baby who's height, when it grows up into an adult, does not exceed 148 cm, it is a pony, even if it's parents are horses.
hope that helped :)
Have a good day friend ^^


"leave a comment in the description"

me:
Omg i cant even i just bursted out laughing XD


Ok I did my research and I found out the ages of the pony’s (your welcome)
Fluttershy: 19
Pinkiepie: 18
Twilight : 17
Rainbow dash : 19
Rarity : 18
Applejack : 18
So yes...saying that there adults makes sense...


Actually ironwill is not even a minotor since the lower part of it's body looks more like something goat-ish


City's in equestria are like greek city states, different in nature but have a common culture.


Maybe saddles are just a fashion trend, once or twice I've seen rarity with one ( or at least one of their pony games where it says one of your friends are jealous of your new saddle what do you do?)


Fun fact: I'm born in Saudi Arabia and they also have ponies lol


actually in the winter wrap up episode Twilight gets a saddle on herself when she is ready to go outside. I wonder how?


Ponys ARE horses, it depends on the hight, so that means the ponys just only grow to that hight


Ponies and horses are different subspecies, but still the same species. A breed of pony is be Shetland and a breed of horse is Clydesdale. There are many breeds of horses and many breeds of ponies.


Pony and horse are two different "things". To be a horse, it has to be over 145cm in height.


MLP series 1, there were humans. Do we consider that canon or are all evidence from non current-series episodes invalid?


But according to the first Equestria girls, hardly anypony knew about human terms, so they most likely don't know about humans. And if there were really humans in Equestria, they would try to use the ponies, and most likely get sent away with magic. But according to your theory, if there were humans in Saudi Arabia they would have accomplished at using them.


Since when are ponies supposed to grow into horses?


My little horses
My little horses
Ahahahahaaaaaa
My little horses
I used to wonder want friendship could be
My little horses
Until you shared you magic with me
Big adventures
Tons of fun
Beautiful heart
Faithful and strong
Sharing kindness
It's an easy feet
And magic makes it all complete
You have my little horses
And I know your all my very best friends


ponies aren't horses, there 2 different things :T heart strong as horses means stronger and bolder, which a horse is stronger and bolder than a <br>pony.

pony's never turn into horses. pony's are a special type of small horse that never grows into the size of a normal one.


They name every single place as a horse parody. So that end part of the video were you say stuff about humans, is 👅. Let us have horse puns!


1: You fucked up at the start saying "filly, pony, pony" when it should have been "foal, filly, pony"
2: Ponies are just small breeds of horse, they don't grow into full sized horses
3: The idea of Equestria being like never land wouldn't make sense because we have seen throughout the show (using flashbacks) the main six grow up.
4: A saddle is seen in Winter Wrap Up and is pointed out very belatedly.

I was going to say something about the season 4 finale linking past generations but then I saw the publish date on the video.

Also, May Coolburg (see below) needs to calm her horses.

I know that, its just I make a list of mistakes he made when that wasn't a mistake.

@*****   Alright, I just looked it up and I was in the wrong, I apologize.


I think of the ponies as being like the hobits from The Lord of The Rings. And Celestia and Luna are like the elves from The Lord of The Rings. But Twilight is an immortal hobit. The Saddle Arabia horses are like the average sized humans of that world.
As for actual humans, I have a feeling that humans don't exist native to that world.
Mabe if an Aragorn character shows up he will be a horse that falls in love with an alicorn.


the horses from sadle arabia are arabians and most of the time t are horses. A pony is litterally a horse that's smaller than 1.48 ( in the netherlands is 1.58) from the moment they reach that height they are considerd a horse. So i guess it's the same in Equestria no?

Equestrian out!

Ps sorry for my bad english ( i'm from belgium)


its 2016 september now and your videos now are alot better then the old ones. Theroy wise.. But you still cool.


I remember in winter wrap up Twilight had a saddle on her back so we must use them to keep their backs warm


You do know in one episode pinkie pie turned her head into an old style my little pony and they look more like a horse than the new show


This is because the mlp ponies aren't horses but a hyper-intelligent alien species.


And on the whole saddle thing, Some of Rarity's dress forms are wearing saddles, and that one pink Canterlot pony wears a saddle


Saddles are not human tools in equestria and surrounding kingdoms. They are fashionable accessories. Just watch the last episode of season one and focus on background females in the at the gala song.<br>Who's watching in 2017 or later?

I think there just different species, (horses and ponies) and no, I don't think there are humans in equestria. I think that what those horses are wearing are just the way horses dress up in Arabia. (Don't complicate yourself man! Its just a fantasy show...)

@Jade Faury Well, if you remember Winter Wrap Up (Who doesn't?) Twilight had a saddle, so...

Well derr there Muslim s so they'll were something different

maybe its just a fashion thing for saddles

@***** I agree with you, those are different types of pony, not the same, its kind of obvious if you look them closer.

Assuming the show has some degree of logic, horses and ponies <b>are</b> indeed the same species.

@Arran Miller They don't even mencion that they are humans in equestria, if those horses really had humans then they would have brought them with them! Just like every king takes his slaves with him to hes journeys.


I understand why you labelled this "bad video do not watch". Pony is a category of horse breed, making ALL of them horses.


Some ponies are seen wearing a saddle, presumably for decor.


hmm... this is a questioning theory...  after watching this video i have a similar thought on matters referring to humans in/out of equestria


Horses have to be a hight that ponies can't become unless they are recreated and made taller (I'm a horse geek)


The saddles are a fashion choice. Duh. They're making a joke. :(

~Dash~

Her Loyal Highness, Princess Rainbow Dash


I think the saddles were just a fashion statemen that's like if someone wore all black and you immediately called them goth


So... U know how there's different human races? Well there has to be different pony races making the horses their own race.


The "Horses" look a lot like llamas or alpacas, wait that would be so cool if they had llamas on the show


Ponies are breeds of horses that stay small. Such as Shetland ponies.

Minotaurs in MLP are not bovine + human, they are bovine + diamond dog.


Real ponies never turn into horses, ponies are a different species from them. They aren't baby horses.


In real life, ponies don't become horses either 😂


The only difference between a horse and a pony is height. Both are members of Equus ferus caballus. Think of them like you think of dogs. A chihuahua is different from a great dane but they are both canines. They can inter breed and produce fertile offspring.  Just like there are different breeds of dogs that are different sized and shapes there are different breeds of horses that differ in appearances as well. Its only a matter of classification and physical standards breed association set that separates them.


A horse and a pony are two different things. Please... just... Don't say they are.


When i saw the mini Minotaur thing i nearly lost it because that is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite singer-song writers Tobuscus!!!

@apple jack He writes his own songs im pretty sure so that makes him a songwriter to

Tobuscus isn't a singer not song writer he's a youtuber actor and an lets player

Ponies are 14.2hh and under. Horses are 14.2hh+ if we're being realistic. Looks like we're not.


Ponies aren't horses. Different species. There are foals, mares, colts and stallions


i think those horses are more pretty than celestia <3


I actually think that the saddle maybe is their form  clothes(?) for the horses,another thing that so far, no existance of humans has been seen in equestia except the equestia girls in another world.


I thought horses and ponies were two different things

@Jenna Love what I meant was well...for ex if you mix a tiger and a lion they make a liger and you can breed a female liger with another tiger or a lion (I am saying female because male ligers don't have the right reproductive parts)you will get a liliger or a tyliger you see what I mean (I didn't make this up by the way I saw it on a documentary on ligers) its the same with horses and donkeys

@***** yes but if you add more horse in the mix it is a estimate of 75% horse and 25% donkey that's why they look more like horses and small like donkeys now do you see

@Princess Luna It is genetically IMPOSSIBLE for a mule to breed. This is coming from someone who used to raise horses.

WRONG
ponies are a genetic hybrid of a mule and a horse, so they are a little the same
GEESE DONT PEOPLE STUDY??? O eait, i do bcus i have horses lol


I almost blew up the comments section when i saw this.... horses are my life. Then i saw the note and stopped watching XD


you never heard of the Arabian Horse, the most distinctive pedigree of racing horse in Great Britain all of which can trace there Ancestory back to three horses which came from Saudi Arabia


ponies and horses are 2 different species and since I'm writing this in 2015 brony notion is in his high school senior year just watch his latest video and I'm a fourth grader , and I know this is a run-on sentence, so sorry Mrs.Buntrock

+Jessica “Jessie” Miranda no that is not why ponies and horses are two different species just horses are bigger then ponies I know this because I own horses and ponies.

also ponies are as smaller so that is why ponies and horses have different names


celestia is technically a horse
a horse and pony are based on height
celestia is about 2x the height of ponies


could you just call a earth pony a house?


The puns also include horse drawn horse drawn carriages, and I'm as hungry as a horse


If the horses you said were "Horses" then why is one pink, because as far as I know horses aren't pink.


Horses and ponies are 2 different animals!!!


there is a difference between horses and ponies. horses are taller than 14 hands (56 inches tall). ponies are shorter than that.


Human in Equestria? Well... if they were human in Equestria(i mean Equestria as a world, not as a country ruled by Celestia and Luna)... why would Twilight's friends surprised, when she talks about hands? And why wouldn't Twilight know "what this weird createre are?".<br>I mean... if they really were humans in Saddle Arabia, their existence would be propably well known.

ponys never will be horses they will always stay ponies, according to the outside world

and it is actually foal, fill, and pony i think


I don't mean to be a party pooper but I think the saddles are just decorative. Maybe part of their culture.


Did you notice that NONE of the 2 "horses" have cutie marks. So I don't think there is any relation between the ponies and horses!


Can someone continue the Lyrics with me? please?

And I've watched you from that very first day.

Ponys and Horses are a little the same. The Arabian ones look like Celestiya,only Twilight is younger.

@Suu Sandar Tun Appologies if I came off sounding like a bit of a smarty pants. Just had a horse growing up the was a "pony" after a hoof trim, and a "horse" around the time he was needing a hoof trim lol quickly became familiar with the horse pony sizes.

@Suu Sandar Tun actually 14.2 hands and under is a pony and 14.3 hands and over is a horse unless you are refering to a quarter horse and with them 14.2 hands and over is a horse.

@The Brony Notion U don't understand, a pony does not become a horse.A pony is lower then 14 hands and a horse is higher than 14 hands...


Maybe the saddles are decoration clothing. Apple Jack owns a saddle but that's so she can connect her plow to it. Maybe they farm there..?


Humans don't have to actually be in the MLP world. Sassy Saddles wears a saddle after all.


The portal between the two worlds could actually be a portal to sadle araibia


Or that horses and ponys, much like our world, ARE TOO DIFFERENT FREAKING BREEDS. It make sooooo much more sense.


2:27 Lol the Mini-Minotaur is dere! Am I the only Tobuscus fan left?

Out-tro of darkness then redness then whiteness then BOOP! :D

you are not alone with that toby: dodododododododo supscribe


in the journal of sisters it states that alicorns age at a different rate than other ponies


The saddles are something humans use, but there are human objects all over, tires, arcade machines, rakes, heck even human cloth! So another pony could've dug it up, and used it as a new fashion trend.


1:26
they also dont have cutie marks
even tho they look almost the same


maybe they're like axotles, like they could turn into haurses but need the right conditions to do so


I think the saddles r just a decoration/outfit


That might be the way their culture dresses.


i can just imagine in the next Equestia Girls (if there is gonna be one) they go horse back riding if the pony twilight was there it would be really awkward


Ponies and horses are two completely different things a pony cannot turn into a horse


at the beginning I was like .... because ponies don't develop into horses, horses and ponies are different


I'm sorry but the lack of equine knowledge shown in this video is cringe worthy.
Ponies and horses are 2 completely different branches of the equine family tree.

Age for a pony is:
Foal (new born) - Colt (male)/Filly (female) - Yearling (teenager) - Pony (adult) - Elder

Age for a horse is:
foal (new born) - colt (male)/Filly (female) - Yearling (teenager) - Horse (adult) - Elder

Also a pony is 14.2 hands tall at the withers and down, a horse is (typically) 14.3 hands and up. Though their are miniature horses as well which are also different from ponies.
(hands is the proper way to measure horse height. 1 hand = 10.16 centimeters)

@***** Aw, that sucks....also, leaving the jumps up, I must say, isn't very uncommon. We don't leave big jumps up, or jumps that are NOT in the middle of the ring, but we keep some up.

@Skywriter 	 	 	 	<br>Yeah, pretty much. What bugged me the most is that they would leave jumps up even when no one was jumping or with inexperienced riders in the ring. One time a girl in my class who was about 7-8 years old (maybe younger) was on a large horse named Tex and Tex loved jumping. During a canter she lost control of Tex and Tex went strait over a large Oxer. She was lucky that she didn't fall off and was fine. The random jumps were more like obstacles then anything. That's why when my horse retired I picked a horse that was scared of jumping due to an accident that she went through when she was younger and because of that she also wasn't ridden much. I also had a new instructor (who was nice) and we worked very slowly with her and we were going to start a sort of therapy with her to try to get her over a little bit of fear. Like starting out on a single trot pole and work from their at her own pace. Though I never got the chance to work with her because that was when the schedule changed and they never called me back. 	 	 	 	And I was so excited to do it too because she was such a lovable horse.

@***** OMG! That's horrible! Don't they know that leaning your full body weight against the horse gets them to lift their hooves up? My instructor said that, well, anyone could claim to be a professional, and non-horse people would be none the wiser. She used the example: "Someone could say they were champions, but that could have been at a low-level competition where they entered a few walk-trot classes and were competing against one other rider."

What they did was basically abuse. :(

@Skywriter
Thank you. All the instructors say is "can you feel that they're off balance" or "You're on the wrong lead" and not actually helping me learn. I'm happy I quit that stable. Not only were they terrible teachers but they weren't exactly nice to the horses and a lot of younger riders picked up the bad habits they had.
You know how when a horse wont pick up their hoof? and how you're suppose to run your hand down the leg and they lift it up? The instructors and inexperienced kids slapped them on the shoulder instead. But since the horse I rode didn't lift his hooves (except for me) he got a hoof infection from kids not picking his hooves. In fact they pushed him so hard (he was 20 something) that he had a jumping accident and went lame for while but then, after he was healed, the farrier clipped his hooves wrong so that they were square instead of round so they finally decided to take off his shoes and retire him. Also they tried to get me to use a crop, which I don't like using, especially since my horse responded to sound much better then the crop and that was when the hoof infection was discovered too. One time a girl asked if I could hold a crop beside a pony's face while she picked his hooves so he wouldn't bite her (even though he was in cross-ties) and I said no and did it for her. And I didn't get bit.

@***** If you look over the side of the horse facing the inside of the ring, or wherever your riding, you should be able to see the hoof when it comes forward. When you can't see it it's wrong. :)

That's my favorite thing to do when riding. I still cant tell the difference between the right lead and the wrong lead though. They feel the same to me.

@Skywriter I've been riding since I was a baby. I was lucky enough to have a babysitter when I was younger that owned horses and she taught me how to ride.<br>I might try jumping again some time in the future but for now I'm grounded.

@Skywriter I've been riding since I was a baby. I was lucky enough to have a babysitter when I was younger that owned horses and she taught me how to ride.

@***** Cool! I do English hunters/jumpers. ;3 I've been riding for nearly 4 years (this summer marks 4,) and I can jump as high as 2ft 6". I posted a video of me riding my half leased pony Billy....over some little cross rails while practicing bouncing. xD It's a shame, really, that you stopped jumping. It's fun once you get better at it, especially when your not in a lesson. Sounds like that instructor was pushing you and the horse too far. But that's pretty cool!

@Skywriter
I started jumping for awhile until I got my concussion because my instructor made me go over 2 small cross polls when me and my horse were far to tired to do it (I was never comfortable jumping anyway, I like trot polls better).
I did Dressage for a bit until the schedule got screwed up and the stable never called me back to tell me when I was riding (I hated that stable anyway).
I like just riding for fun more. Like trail riding and stuff.

OMG another horse person with accurate facts! Helllooooo there, fellow horse person! :D


everybody knows ponies and horses are two different things


ponies and horses are two different species. they're not the same things.


In MLP they use saddles for fashion. Rarity uses them all the time


have you seen the new episode Canterlot Boutique a new pony  sassy Saddles was introduced they use saddles as belts

+Ismael Chavez maybe she just like waring there kind of clothing


Pony's aren't the same as horses (they're different breeds)


What if royalty can only be horses...unless their just really really short horses


Maybe in that saddle place there's a portal like the one in the crystal empire


The Pound Cake is a foal, and Sweetie Bell is a filly.

about the begining, ponies don't ever develope onto horses. question answerd.


a horse and a pony are technically 2 different animals


ponies and horses are different ponies are i think a different species but part of the equestrian family like a mouse and a gerbil and they said their hearts are as strong as horses that doesn't necessarily mean that they turn into horses


Horses and ponies are two different species, ponies fully grown are still ponies. Not to be hating :)


Pony is a different breed than horse dude

EspeonPower different breed same species type of thing


pretty shure those saddles are just for design  and  details


An adult pony in real life is any horse under 14 hands 2 inches. If a foal grows beyond that they count as a horse. Thats why there are breeds of pony because people have found that certain types of horse never grow tall enough to be horses.


I think ponies and horses are two separate species. Ponies are also pegasi and Unicorn, but what we saw of the "saddle arabia" horses they had no magic seen by the eye. Nk horns are wings. Maybe in some "states of equstria" there are different species of ponies, and " saddle arabia" is horses. Please tell me what you think


I am pretty shore that ponys do not turn in to houses it is about the size not the age


@UnknownSpy LMAO ITS FUNNY TO ME HOW YOU CAME BACK AFTER 5 YEARS-

@Hannah Ringer please note that the comment is 5 years old.....


horses and ponies are entirely different species omg haha


Ponies don't turn into horses in real life... They are completely different breeds.


actually in the true story of Peter Pan he kills the lost boys when they get older around 10 or 11 I think so maybe Peter Pan into some type of magic which probably is the same thing as the ponies Magic or they just killed a pony after it gets older and less it's a princess because princesses never age just like Peter Pan and in the episode where Twilight becomes a princess that's probably including the age thing like Peter Pan


it doesn't make any sense because I always thought equestria was the only place in the whole pony world


I just want to point out that ponies are not horses as children.... ponies are basically horses that never grow as high as other true horses.


Like u said in one of your videos they could be diamond dogs riding them because in the episode where Diamond dogs were introduced they rode on the mane six


yeah the human part I don't think so because ponies just seem to use saddles as clothes especially in the first season


I think they are trying to bring it up but, they just haven't gotten to that point in time yet.


Anypony else watch this then think, dude, your changling is showing


sometimes my friends ask me this if princess celestia is bigger than all the ponies is she a horse? i said well how about chrysalis? she said forget chrysalis and worry about the other ponies. 😐? can you find the answer?


I think it's just different races so to speak... Like, a Native American compared to a Korean for example, drastically different features and such


Ponys and horses are different species you know.<br>


I want to see satyrs, centaurs and sphinxes.


How do i leave a comment in the 'description' XD

no i just havent noticed the notification

Yeah I don't know why I used to say that XD there's so much I did wrong in this video...


brony i had a thought. what if the main six are descended from luna and celitsta? that whould explain why the can become power ponies


just saying pints and horses are "different" types of animals but very close to each other


The Ponies in My Little Pony

Are based most likely on  Shetland Ponies


Horses and ponys are the same. it is like different dog breeds some are small some are big but all are dogs. the same goes for horses they are all horses but the smaller breeds are called ponies.


Ponies can't "grow up to horses" because ponies are a whole different type of horse. Plz get more info before making a video -_-

@The Brony Notion I used to think the same too until I read an article several months ago explaining the difference between ponies and horses.

@The Brony Notion<br> lol sorry I turn anotations off XD

@The Brony Notion
 lol sorry I turn anotations off XD

I used to think ponies were just young horses, but then i found out they were different totally. Yeah, I was pretty embarrassed, but I put an annotation up at the beginning explaining that.


what if if u live in different places you have different features like how we have black people in africa and white in europe depends on their environment


Do you remember season 2 when the mane 6 knows Zecora. Twilight said that zebras lives in a long way from equestria. But this have no sense if the zebras lives in equestria the portal is not important to come to the human world?


The diffrence between ponies and horses is the height. Because i am not English, i do not know the word for it. But ponies are smaller in their full grown state.

@Myrthe van de Veen
You didn't make a mistake. Ponies are a breed of horse that was bred to be small to fit into small spaces.

Mules can't breed with anything as they are the sterile hybrids of horses and donkeys.

Ok, calm down, i just made a mistake, didn't know that...

No.... Horses and mules make a pony, they are the genetic hybrid so like this<br>Horse+mule= a genetic hybrid of pony ok

No.... Horses and mules make a pony, they are the genetic hybrid so like this
Horse+mule= a genetic hybrid of pony ok


Ponies And Horses are two different species even though they are both in the horse family. So a pony growing into a horse does not make any sense even in equestria.


Brony Notion: This is a filly, this is a pony and this is a pony. But at what point do they become horses?<br>Me: When they grow up...

Brony Notion: This is a filly, this is a pony and this is a pony. But at what point do they become horses?
Me: When they grow up...


I was going to say that ponies don't turn into horses..but then I saw the description.Oh and Big Mac is a horse


Ponies don't become horses, I know this is a old video, but still.


PONYS ARE NOT horses!! So they can't become horses cause they aren't horses!!

What we're saying is that they are the same in terms of species, and are not a hybrid of mules or whatever it was that someone said(!?)
For example: some human beings have different bone structures and heights compared to others (taking dwarfism, for example), but we are still the same species. That's the point we're trying to make. Ponies are small horses.
(Although there is no 14.5hh, whoever said that...It goes straight from 14.3hh to 15hh!)

@Fushicho Kurayami
Ponies are different from horses not just because they're smaller, but because of their different bone stricture.

(Also was it really necessary to talk in all caps?)

@Princess Luna PONIES ARE SMALL HORSES!!! MY MOM HAS A FARM WITH MANY HORSES AND ONE OF HER HORSES IS CLASSIFIED AS A PONY BECAUSE HE IN ONE INCH SHORT OF BEING A HORSE....THE ONLY DIFFERANCE BETWEEN A PONY AND HORSE IS THE SIZE....HOWEVER A MINI-HORSE IS IN FACT FUNDALMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM A HORSE AND HAS TO EVEN HAVE A SPECIAL DIET THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM A HORSE!!!! HOW CAN YOU OWN AN ANIMAL AND NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!!! YOU EITHER HAVE A MINI-HORSE OR YOU HAVE A PONY....AND IF YOU HAVE A PONY IT IS ONLY A PONY BECAUSE ITS SHORTER THAN 14.5 HANDS TALL....EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT HORSES AND EQUINE ANIMALS KNOWS THAT....ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN TEA-CUP, TOY, MINI, MED, AND LARGE POODLES....THEY ARE THE SAME ANIMAL BUT COME IN DIFFERNT CLASS SIZES....THE ONLY DIFFERANCE IS THAT WITH HORSES THEY GET A DIFFERENT NAME. GOSH!!

No. I'm sorry but you're completely wrong... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony
Read the very first line of that description!
It's exactly what I said it was.
A pony IS a small horse. My family and I have owned and bred horses since before I was born; I'm in my twenties now, you do the math.
So I'm sorry, but you don't know. Just read the info on the link I provided, and you'll see for yourself.
God knows who's been teaching people that a pony is anything to do with a mule?!

+ sarah townsead
No, horses and ponies are not the same, they are only a little bit the same, they are a genetic hybrid from a mule and a horse, that is why they are samll and a little stubborn sometimes, and yes baby girl and baby boys in horse definition is a filly and a colt, i know because i have a pony IRL and i have my own horse IRL named luna :-D lol

Ponies and horses are the same species. Ponies are anything under 14.3 hands high, horses are anything OVER 14.3 hands high...
And baby horses are called foals, so are baby ponies. (Female foals are fillies, males are colts). Same species. Just the different breeds that separate them, if you will.
My family and I have owned horses for years. :)

@Blossom Gaming ;D baby horses are foals, baby ponies are foals, juvenile horses are fillies/ colts, juvenile ponies are fillies/ colts, adult ponies are ponies, adult horses are horses! They are different, that's like saying baby horses are zebras!

Yea... Gosh I have rid for two years now and I forget this DX

nope... well they are called foals but some people prefer to call them "fillys"

Foals are called baby horses.right? Baby horses can also be called ponies :3

Well actually when you think about it ponies from Equestria could be real somewhere Ermeugawd.....Bronis lets travel space!

omg why are people idiots PONIES ARE A TYPE OF HORSE!!!!


NO, are you forgeting that saddles are used as clothing in Equestria it is mentioned in "Winter Wrap Up" and can be seen in Rarity's boutige at multible aucasions, also we now know that there are other lands beyond Equestria such us the Griffun Kindom and the Dragon Lands. I excuse the later because this information was mentioned long after this video was realished, but the former.... this is ab ocasion of you didn't do a proper research.


ponies do not become horses they're two separate breeds.


Good theory, but ponies don't grow into horses


PONIES AND HORSES R DIFFERNT!!!!!!!!!!! I do horseback riding the oldest pony there is older than all the horses JUST SAYING

Proud Hufflepuff when this was released there was no disclaimer when everyone commented he added the disclaimer hush

MagicLivesInYOU me too! Awww but abbey died a while back.. SADNES

I have a horse and been riding her sense I was three years old (she's my profile pic) and ya ponies and horses are different bc of there size a horse is considered to be about 4 5ft tall so yes celesta is smaller than the horse ponys from saddle Arabia so does that mean celesta is a horse?


For the song horses probably means we have hearts as strong as stallions because sometimes horses might just mean stallions???


I think the "new" title and thumbnail just attracts more people XD


There are ponies in real life! like, ones that never turn into horses.


Actually, Twilight Sparkle wore a saddle in a series "Winter wrap up". So did Rarity many times during all film. It's just like a piece of clothing, that's all. No humans in pony world, i guess.

Лилия Кашуба


There cant be humans in there world, because in the beginning of the movie mlp eg, twilight has no idea what she is.

Coming back to original theme, "Equestria" actually should mean "Land of Horses [Ponies]". I'm pretty sure that if only ponies lived everywhere there would be not sence in calling just one country ponies' land. I mean, there is not country in the world called "Land of Humans", right?.. So my point is: Equestria may refer to freedom of Equestria from other species (not complete, just sayin' ponies obvoiusly dominate numerically there), so we may suppose other countries, including Saddle Arabia, cannot do the same thing and thus can be co-inhabited/dominated by other species, e.g. humans. Still noone and nopony said they should be humans; saddles can be used by pretty much any specie smaller than an alicorn. By the way, if we remember the size comparation between ponies and IRL horses that we, humans, are able to ride, we'll see it pretty clear that even alicorns aren't big enough to be ridden on. Some may say, "Well, ponies are X times smaller than IRL equivalent, so why wouldn't humans be X times smaller too?" but it doesn't explain why Angel Bunny is same size in both worlds. Basicly something really convinient to us should had happened to let humans ride ponies in ponyworld. Hope Saddle Arabia is mentioned once more to awnser these questions.

tl;dr: humans could be be there but are apparently too big to ride ponies

@Kim Cliffrock Actually, lands outside of equestria are spoken of quite often. All indications are Equestria DOES NOT refer to the planet, but to "the empire" as their country is referred to a few times. The Crystal Empire is spoken of as being North of Equestria in the Season 3 premiere, but later on it is spoken of as being in Northern Equestria. This isn't a ret-con. The Crystal Empire was annexed by Equestria during the events of Season 3.

@***** I'm pretty sure Equestria is the name of their planet, not country - especially noting the way ponies say, "What in Equestria..." the same way we say, "What on Earth...". Saddle Arabia is probably a country in Equestria.

@Turner Emery well yes but we've never seen that part of equestria so we don't know for sure

True, but there's still the fact that saddles can refer to saddle bags and attachments for carts so the logic behind saddles=humans is still not quite there.

Maybe because she has never been to saddle Arabia or seen or heard about humans

Also, Equestria is where America is, so if they are on the other side of the world how would Twilight know.....

That doesn't a play BECAUS eg don't look like humans

yes, but that doesn't mean that they aren't there. As you say Celly has no clue what has actually passed. Also too, any book that would relate would probably not be found in equestria, because it seems cut off from the outside world, even the royal library is only filled with knowledge of Equestria. The idea is plausible, but is not canon, as there is no solid evidence of them being there, but also none that could disprove the theory

@Turner Emery Celestia should know everything and she said herself she has no idea whats passed the portal.

WELL, im pretty sure theres no humans in equestrua, but in saudlle-saudle-sas... WHAT EVER arabia.

That would imply Twilight knows about everything, which as we've seen, she doesn't.


I guess flutter shy is your favorite character in mlp thats why you used her to average pony height


the saddles are their cloths sorta like how Rarity makes dresses


i have a thing that you should look at. Twiligth sparkle is starting to grow bigger than normal ponies so i think that maby some chosen ponies (like twiligth) are gonna become horses this is just a little thing i have been thinking about for a while and hope that you could post a video  about it ^-^


A pony is a horse under 55 inches, at no point do they turn into horses. A pony is a pony, it will never become a horse.

midnight the wolf you so right thank you

Animalluver you are so right. I was thinking the same thing. Every one except babies know that horses and ponies are different animals

The height ain't the determining factor.

I agree I've ridden a few my self none of the old Ponys are horses

I know if you like this show you should have done better reasearch I was like that is incorect

Thank You, I was shaking my head this entire video!


I think my that the horses from "Saddle Arabia" is just another gag.<br>Besides that, interesting subject!

I think my that the horses from "Saddle Arabia" is just another gag.
Besides that, interesting subject!


did you notice that one of the horses did not have a cutie mark?


I disregarded he warning and watched anyway. Don't be too ashamed of it, you're overthinking while missing essential informations, that's not a horrible mistake


does zecora have a cutie mark because she's the same size as a pony?


a pony is not a baby horse but rather a small horse like miniature and that is why they are ponies but that also don't explain why Celestia is still a pony...

Raina The wolf actually you just named a male baby horse and a   Baby horse...
Colt: male baby horse
Filly: female baby horse
Foal: baby horse

KittyCatGamer a baby horse is called a colt for foal

Not all ponies are really short. You can get shetland ponies which are really short and connemara ir welsh ponies which are a taller than a sheltland.


No one else notice that those 2 horses don't have cutie marks? How come zebra has them but not horses which are kinda like pony's


The ponies will never become horses because they are a completely different race. In mlp you can get donkeys, even muels. Which helps prove my point. Also, the horses from saddle Arabia didn't seem to have cutie marks. I know you couldn't see them very well, but let's just  predict that they don't. Perhaps this means that horses ARE just another race from the pony world like Griffin or minataurs.


I think the mirror is a teleportation mirror that brings and morphs ponies to saddle Arabia humans


Lyra heartstrighs should love the juman theory XD


you forgot about the following;<br>foal (baby) to filly (kid) then pony (adult) and if i'm wrong sorry

you forgot about the following;
foal (baby) to filly (kid) then pony (adult) and if i'm wrong sorry

i already learned my mistakes by another user

@Janen Satorre Actually a foal is a baby horse (boy or girl filly and baby girl and colt a baby boy

@TheJGamerGirl  Yes, But I meant everyone thought fillies were foals in general.

And Mirabai (idk how to tag in mobile sry) filly actually DOES mean baby horse... Just female specific.

No, foal is baby horse, and filly is the female version of that.

@Janen Satorre foal- young pony, Filly- young girl pony, and pony- any age or gender pony, mares and stalians are adults, foal goes throgh any age as a chiled, posobly age 0-12... its okay you got it roung i got confused like that and thoght the same way you did :)

@***** THANK YOU!! Everyone keeps thinking a filly is a baby horse, and I was super mad

sorry i was just saying not being mean :(


Saddles are just a fashion statement,and I don't know much about fashion.


so ponies don't grow into horses. a pony is basically a horse that is 14 hands and under. I don't clam to know everything about equine but I can say that a pony and a horse are not any different except for there size for the most part.


Ponies do NOT become horses at ALL. Even in real life.


Are you not aware that ponies and horses are different species?


you do realize ponys and horses are 2 different species

@lmgirlz Exactly. The word for baby horse or pony is a foal. A male baby is referred to as a colt, and a female is a filly. They use the terms in the show...Hasbro certainly did their homework.

I think what they're trying to say is that ponies don't "grow up" to be horses.

@dat pony lover I don't really think they are going to do much with horses, though. They aren't too important, as it seems. :/

@dat pony lover Horses were shown in the show at one point. The Gala Episode, when Twilight turned the mice into horses, then they were spooked away.

i feel like equestria's ponies are not horses. they are ponies and will always be ponies. i heard freaking celestia being called apony ones, so if she aint a horse, no one is a horse. in the song hearts as strong as horses, maybe they are referring to a different species that we didnt see yet, like im saying that im as brave as a lion. the saddle arabian horses are probably just wearing the saddles as decoration, saddles were used lotsa times in the show as an accessory. maybe there are horses in equestria that we yet to see?

@Eliza Semple Yeah. Then when I say "I rode a pony," I'm thinking of a large pony going over 2ft 6" jumps, but THEY are thinking of a miniature horse being led around in circles.

IKR?! I was thinking all through this about ponies growing into horses; it just doesn't happen. It is really annoying when people think that ponies grow into horses. Tut tut. }:-(

@Darian Minton What the heck are you talking about? xD

Yea I don't see ponies changing into horses... Horses are in here kinda like how there's Asians, African Americans....I don't think ponies evolve...they just grow old....

@Abbi Zeiger Yeah, just like how miniature horses are called that for a reason....they have the body structure of....well, horses. At least that's what I know. Though it doesn't count for breeds such as quarter horses, which is kind of odd, considering their withers are flatter no matter what the height.

And ponies are not necessarily just shorter horses. They have a slightly different body type that is more noticeable in some breeds than in others. For example, Haflingers are always classified as ponies despite the fact that some of them are taller than the pony-horse cutoff (14.2 hands high). And Arabians are always classified as horses despite some of them being shorter than 14.2 hh. I hope that makes sense. If you want to learn more, you could browse a Wikipedia article and it's sources. :)

@Abbi Zeiger i do and this is an interesting point

@Garnet101 They are both equus ferus caballus. One species- horses and ponies can interbreed and have fertile offspring. The different horse breeds are exactly like the different dog breeds: Same species, different physical characteristics due to humans selectively breeding them for different traits. Donkeys are a different species under Equus, which is why when you breed a horse (or a pony) with a donkey, you get a mule or a hinny that is infertile and cannot produce offspring. Same thing happens when you breed a zebra and a horse (if you can) - infertile offspring. Genetics are kinda tricky, but I trust you understand a horse can breed with a pony, a horse can breed with a donkey (but that offspring cannot breed), and a horse cannot breed with a dog because they are very different species.

yes ponys are just smaller horseses thats what ive grown up knowing

They are not two different species. Horses are just taller that ponies.


and saddles in the pony world are probably used as accessories


actoully hes half correct I have a pony called mow mow (yes the names cute back to explaining) and in about 5-7 years she could become a horse but not every pony does this its kinda do to breeding mow is a special horse and I don't think any ponies in my little pony are this kind of breed of pony


in the old my little pony movie there was a human, so why shouldnt there be any in the new my little pony show


ive see episodes where rarity designs saddles as well. so i believe it isnt that humans live there but just a common fashion trend. if humans really did exist then it would be really weird since humans would be riding on the backs of every pony or horse and practically the humans would be the ones over powering. unless its backwards like in the real weird where the pony's are the intelligent species and humans are just like pets and really dumb. but i doubt thats the case or that they are real because in equestria girls twilight had no idea what a "human" was.


may I just say<br>in real life a pony isent a horse. shure theyr similer but I ownd a pony once and my mam told me that a pony and a horse are 2 diforent things

@Nia Hopkins I've actually seen a pony that was the child of a horse.  It never got large enough to stop being a pony ^_^ well both were horses and both were the same breed... just one was a pony and the other was larger.

@HuskyHowl - AJ And More! 1. Learn manners. 2. You don't have to be so rude, maybe they haven't learned the basics of grammar yet. By the way, there were multiple capitalization errors in your post, along with punctuation mistakes. I think you are the one who needs to go back to school.

1 learn grammar. 2 he says "i thought that ponies were young horses when i made this." so you should go back to school dude ):l


In the old mlp show there was a human, or humans. I think there was a boy and a gir human. The girl reminded me a lot like the apple jack equestrria girl, she was always around apple jack also. (From when I see her she is)


ponies and horses are different species!!!!! ponies, mules, donkeys, zebras and horses are seperate species just like cats and lions,  dogs and wolves, parrots and eagles


Ponies are actually not horses in real life, so there must just be real horses in saddle Arabia.


Maybe Equestria is in a future where horses have evolved, and humans have died out. Then maybe the portal in EG is actually a portal through time.
