After a long summer that was sadly missing in horseplay and cutie marks, My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is back for its second season.

(Spoiler alert: Minor plot points follow in the text and video.)

In the exclusive clip above, it appears there is trouble in Equestria. The spirit of Chaos, Discord, has escaped imprisonment in stone and has come to torment Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the pony gang.

Season two, which starts Saturday, begins airing just in time for BronyCon — a gathering of male pony fans in New York on September 24.

Finally all things pony are back.

My Litte Pony Friendship Is Magic returns September 17 at 9 a.m. Eastern/6 a.m. Pacific on the Hub TV network.
