the location

Though the realm of Equestria is vast, My Little Pony takes place primarily in the pony village of
Fillydelphia. Moderately populated by several dozen or so pony families, Fillydelphia is a quaint
township surrounded by mostly meadows and pony farms, where Earth ponies cultivate the ponies’
favorite foods: carrots, oats, hay, sugar for sugar cubes and the sweet treat Fillydelphia is famous for,
APPLES!!!
Though Fillydelphia is a simple village, there is often a lot of bustle at the town square. Pony farmers
strap on whimsical carts to sell their wares along the dirt roads. Shopkeeper ponies welcome customers
to buy their country arts and crafts. Stemming from it’s apple producing roots, Fillydelphia’s town square
has become what you may call a bit of a tourist trap. Ponies from neighboring towns and cities visit to
shop for fresh fruit and vegetables, unique merchandise and to witness special events at the Fillydelphia
Stable Center Sports Arena and Show Ring. There they can witness all sorts of entertainment from pony
sport competitions (jumping, dressage, rodeo and racing) to pony plays and musicals.
Still, outside of the growing activity of the town square, Fillydelphia is quiet town, and the further you
get from the center of town, the more and more rural it becomes. Beyond the fields of the pony farms,
you find beautiful untouched meadows, and further still, the breathtaking Ever Free Forest, a mysterious
but beautiful area in Equestria where the plants grow entirely on their own (a normal thing to us but an
amazing thing to ponies!)

And it is the village of Fillydelphia that 6 particular pony friends call home.
