Background ponies

There is a large number of ponies which feature only incidentally or for very minor roles. The official names listed here are addressed in the show or by the show's crew, or off of the names of similar ponies in older lines of My Little Pony toys. The rest are given unofficial names by the fans, based on their cutie marks, behaviors, and other attributes.
