WHY ARE THE HUMAN COUNTERPARTS OFTHEMANE SIK TEENS WHEN THE PONIESARE CLEARLY MEANT TO BE ADULTS? LAUREN FAUST: Q: How old are the ponies? The ponies' ages were left intentionally undefined. Ilike to think of them as having maturity levels anywhere between 12 and 18, (but remember that maturity is different than age. You can be a 10-year-old with the maturity of a 15-year-old, and you can be a 35-year-old with the maturity of a 15-year-old.) For story telling purposes, they needed to be able to live independent of parents, but innocent enough for the type of lessons they learn at the end of the episodes. Since horses are full grown around 5-ish, I guess I sort of justified it in my head that they could be childlike young adults. I know this answer is frustrating for some people, but it happens often in cartoons. How old is Bugs Bunny? Mickey Mouse? Sponge Bob? I don't know either.

In another question, she said they were YOUNG ADULTS.
Besides, they are CLEARLY adults, no matter what.
What, are you going to say that AJ and Rarity are simply teens? Please…

I think she said the other Twilight lived in the city, I'm guessing like the alternate reality version of Canterlot. So the other Twilight's gonna find that viral video and be mortified and confused.
