Okay. It is nice to know the Canterlot ponies can survive as a group. It does seem so demeaning that males would be the expendable gender. I do know about the social structure of horses. It has one male and a harem of many females. A marriage like this is called polygyny. One odd thing about horses is that the male is not the leader of the heard. He protects it, but doesn't make all the important decisions. The real leader of the herd is actually one of the females. She is called the boss mare. It is an interesting set up. I have speculated that the Wonderbolts could have a setup like this. Soarin is one of my favorite male ponies. As far as I know, he is the only male member on the team. The rest are female. So maybe Soarin could be the single male, with a harem. Spitfire is one of the females. She is the one to be in charge. So Spitfire could be the boss mare. This is all just hypothetical speculation.
