Mlp fim how tall are the ponies

Trees don't have a set height. Items in their houses would, of course, be scaled to their size. Dog breeds, bunny breeds and cat breeds vary in size. And then I realized my point of comparison. The cows that Applejack deflected from trampling Ponyville have the coloring of Holstein cattle.

That means we know the breed! According to Wikipedia, a Holstein cow, at maturity, is about 58 inches cm at the shoulder. Where you measure the cow at the hip is roughly equivalent to the height of its front hoof to the top of its back. And Holsteins have a fairly flat back. Another one from the Equestria Girls movie, where Twilight puts her hand through the portal and her arm is transformed.

Good luck getting an accurate scale from it, though. So we now have 3 strong hints at the roughly cm 4ft size, including the head. Assuming this is correct, Equestria has insanely high gravity - more than the gravity on Jupiter! There's a video investigating that which I tried to debunk but ended up mostly confirming, see here for both the original video and my hopefully more credible calculations.

Using my previous gravity research and assuming Earth-like gravity, Spike's spectacular jump into the lava was merely 3 meters high! That puts mane 6 at just 25 cm or at about 10" tall, including the head. Unfortunately I can't tell if it's the ponies that are really small or if it's the gravity in their world is so insanely enormous. But either way, the "human transported to Equestria" fanfics are not credible: the human would either be crushed by the enormous gravity, or turn out to be just too damn huge compared to the ponies.

If the latter is true, perhaps the human should try to hang out with dragons instead? They're more their size! I cross-referenced the data and compared 5 different sources. They all converge around 3' to 1 meter:. I also made a picture and journal explaining the height of wings and horns. If you want to read the whole thing here is the link. This shows how big wings and horns are, while this one shows how big the ponies themselves are. Just to shorten it, a filly's horn is inches, an adult's around 9 inches, Fleur, Luna, Cadence, Fancy pants etc.

For the wings, a filly's is a little less than a foot at about 10 inches. For an adult pony, wings are 27 inches or 2. Luna and Cadence's wings are around 33 inches almost 3 feet.

And Celestia's wings are a whopping 45 inches, which is almost four feet. This is some impressive math. I have a hard time figuring out how big ponies are myself. As a cartoonist I go by how many heads tall.

The mares and stallions all have started out using the same basic body shape, three heads tall. They have regular deer as seen in Filly Vanilli.

The doe is four heads tall. Fluttershy's forehead brushes the doe's chin. Compare that height to the whitetail deer around hunting season that range from 62 to 87 inches.

These are the notes I scribbled here. I compared it to this website. The average MLP pony is about the size of a large domestic cat when aged to adulthood. Foals around the age of the CMC are about half that size. Stallions are slightly taller than mares, but no significant difference, to me at least. Now, we are going to look at Celestia's height. Celestia is two times the size of an average pony if I'm not mistaking it.

If what I'm saying is true, than even if I'm counting her horn, Princess Celestia is half the height of the average adult human being. I know you are telling me 'ponies are bigger than that, deal with it', and stuff like 'but ponies are not cat-sized'. And yes, I know of Equestria girls bloopers and all that, and bloopers are not canon. And between us, I do not think that the 'humans' of Equestria Girls are not humans at all. Alright so here's my theory.

It hinges on one assumption: That the environment is of roughly the same scale as an RL environment. From here, one can figure one of two sizes are correct:. Sign up to join this community.

They have to be littler than something, or their whole life is a lie. TODO: mention goldengriffiness.

Oldcat I always assymed that they are littler than the usual ponies, but, of course, there's some room for interpretation If talking and flying ponies isn't a fantasy concept I want to live where you're living, or smoke what you're smoking!

Keen Of course they aren't, pony feet are hooves : — Tacroy. I completely agree with the 8-foot-candy-cane scale. If the ponies are, in fact, ponies, this scale makes sense, as any equine under around 5 feet is considered a pony. Interestingly, Luna and Celestia would then qualify as horses, being around six or seven feet to the head. Alicorns don't count! Also horses aren't even measured with feet, they're measured by hands! Rob: A pony is any breed of horse which, when fully grown, is between 9.

We're now on the scale of the blind bag toys. Sources of error: Finding Cheese's withers in the first image is difficult, since he's facing the camera.

The withers are actually slightly higher than the rest of a horse's back, but MLP ponies don't have one. Comparing the scale on the wall behind Cheese to Cheese's height pixel-by-pixel is inaccurate, since he is not flush against the wall.

This is also a problem when extending this pattern to others, as they need to be the same distance from the camera for it to work correctly. The Mane Six may-or-may-not be fully grown. There are certainly adult characters taller than them. The pony-vs-miniature-horse distinction is based on what's normal for the breed, not an individual specimen. Pinkie's measurement above may be under the minimum for "pony," but she might also just be short.

If the scale is in any other commonly used real-world unit, then the entire world is at a ridiculous scale in one direction or another , and if it's in an uncommon or made-up unit, then its presence is less than useless.

If Equestria's air contains a lot of heavy stuff like xenon or sulfur hexafluoride, a small cello will sound pretty deep. It'd make small-winged flight easier, too. Gaultheria It has been established that pegasi can fly because their pegasi magic. It is also how they control the weather.

But your proposal is sound. Malady 1, 9 9 silver badges 19 19 bronze badges. I don't buy it that Equestria Girls are humans. Guest Guest 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges.

Gilda , a griffon, and Tank , a tortoise, interact with clouds in Griffon the Brush Off and Tanks for the Memories , respectively. In The Return of Harmony Part 1 , a cloud turned cotton candy due to Discord 's influence is clung onto by a squirrel and several mice.

In May the Best Pet Win! Pegasus wings are sometimes tremendously strong; athletically-trained Pegasi support most of their body weight on them in Hurricane Fluttershy , Rainbow Falls , and Equestria Games. Scootaloo , who is unable to fly, uses her wings' power to propel her scooter and a wagon carrying Apple Bloom , Sweetie Belle and the occasional third pony, such as Pinkie Pie , at high speeds and over inclines in the episodes The Cutie Mark Chronicles and Flight to the Finish.

In Putting Your Hoof Down , Fluttershy uses her wings in a similar fashion to hands, using them to get out bits to pay the shopkeepers from her saddlebag. In Parental Glideance , Rainbow Dash, her parents Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles , Spitfire , and Fleetfoot use their wings and feathers with hand-like dexterity, such as plugging their ears, saluting, "shaking hands", and counting feathers off like fingers.

In My Little Pony: A New Generation , Pegasi wings are slightly bigger, enough that they cover their owner's cutie marks while tucked in. The sonic rainboom is an aerial display that is first featured in the episode Sonic Rainboom. Pinkie Pie describes it thus: "The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going sooo fast A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once!

The Cloudsdale weather factory, as seen in Sonic Rainboom. At the first episode of the series , Twilight Sparkle meets Rainbow Dash, who hops on a cloud to make it rain and wash the mud off Twilight, and then air-dries her by flying around her. Twilight tells Rainbow Dash she is "supposed to be keeping the sky clear"; Rainbow then clears the skies of clouds in "10 seconds flat". In Sonic Rainboom, the main characters visit the Cloudsdale weather factory.

They walk through a chamber where Pegasi handcraft snowflakes, an open area where Pegasi mix up rainbows and finally the cloud-making department. Rainbow Dash creates thunder and lightning by violently punching or bucking clouds in Griffon the Brush Off and Luna Eclipsed , to prank ponies. Derpy triggers thunder and lightning by repeatedly jumping on a cloud in The Last Roundup.

In Tanks for the Memories, Rainbow Dash visits the weather factory, which holds lightning bolts in jars laid about. The team, which wears blue vests, consists mainly of Pegasus ponies. In the song that shares its name with the event and episode, the weather team clears the skies of clouds to let the sun warm up the land and melts the snow.

Rarity mentions that the team also "guides the birds back north for the spring. Pinkie Pie cuts squares in the ice with her ice-skates and explains to Twilight that it helps the rest of the Weather team break the ice layer. Pegasi usher in winter in various activities in Tanks for the Memories, culminating in an accidental snow blast from the Cloudsdale weather factory that covers Ponyville in snow. At the beginning of the episode Hurricane Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash hosts a mandatory meeting for all Ponyville Pegasi, in which she shows a film that states, "A team of Pegasi combine their wing power to create a jumbo tornado, powerful enough to pull water out of the local reservoir and funnel it all the way up to Cloudsdale.

Rainbow Dash also stresses that the ponies' combined power must exceed a minimum of "eight hundred wing power. Rainbow Dash's score on the anemometer was Earth ponies and unicorns can play a part in controlling the weather too.

Autumn leaves are shed from the trees in a foot-race of all pony kinds in Fall Weather Friends. Pinkie Pie is part of the Winter Wrap Up weather team in the episode of the same name, described in the previous section. Other Earth ponies clear the snow with snowplows, and Spike mentions that in Canterlot , unicorns wrap up winter.

When Rarity temporarily gets Rainbow Dash's cutie mark in the episode Magical Mystery Cure , she uses her unicorn magic to arrange the clouds above Ponyville in a checkerboard pattern. When the ponies venture for the first time into the Everfree Forest , Applejack surmises that "It ain't natural; folks say it don't work the same as Equestria.
