Moon ponies

Moon Ponies
Moon ponies, as one might imagine, are ponies whose bloodlines originate from the ponies that lived on the moon during Luna's Banishment. This includes ponies who have lived on the moon, obviously.

Though they spent only one thousand years isolated from Earth, they have shown signs of evolution. Many evolution theorists jumped at the opportunity to exploit the example the moon ponies set forth.

Moon pegasi's wings have a significant number more feathers than the pegasi who have lived on the Earth. The unicorns have noticably longer, ridged horns. The earth ponies are generally larger than average.

Other than the physical differences, the two civilizations managed to stay almost the same culturally. Despite the significant setback the moon ponies experienced, their technological rate of increase was almost the same as Earth's. They were approximately thirty years behind Equestria when Luna was freed.
