A long time ago, Equestria was founded by ponies who were starving, whose every day was a struggle, whose lack of trust and what was seen as their base natures drove them against one another. It was founded when ponies put aside what made them different as things that should keep them apart, and instead celebrated them for what made them special. Whether we have feathers or horns or even fangs, Equestria is, and has always been, about coming together, new chances, and above all, hope.
