I think poor Applejack has the least powerful element and the least...unique traits. :(

Twilight: Powerful in magic, element of magic is the strongest.

Fluttershy: Extremely good with animals (AJ can herd certain animals, but not all) and the element of kindness is extremely important in friendship.

Pinkie: Has pretty much higher speed than even Rainbow Dash, has the Pinkie Sense, and the element of laughter, well, friendship has to have laughter, unless its mocking laughter or something.

Rainbow Dash: Not only faster than pretty much anypony, but also can do Sonic Rainbooms, can singlehoofely destroy a barn, and is probably shown as much more athletic than AJ. The element of loyalty is probably the most important; if you're loyal to your friends, then that's what friendship is. Betrayal is the most hurtful thing, more hurtful than cruelty, grumpiness, dishonesty, etc.

Rarity: Can make clothes like nopony else. Also the most beautiful and can pretty much make any stallion do things for her. The element of generosity is really important, giving things to your friends.

And now, to poor AJ:

Applejack: Can buck apples, which Twilight can do about a quarter of the whole Acres using her magic (as seen in Applebuck Season.) Can do tricks with her lasso, but it's pretty much unseen, and I think magic can do lasso tricks too. Is very athletic, but apparently Dash is more even without her wings. Can stop a whole carriage bus with just her hind legs, but can't you do that with magic as well? The element of honesty...well....the truth hurts sometimes. It's true you have to be honest with your friends, and lying to them is very hurtful. But sometimes you keep a secret for your friend, but if you're honest, it would be out. It's the least powerful of the elements, I think. And obviously Hasbro decided to slap it on AJ who is shown as the least important character to them.

So I think that Applejack should REALLY get a talent, or ability, that is VERY DIFFERENT from the others. She shares athletic abilities with Dash, her bucking with the Pegasi and Twilight. She needs something to make her unique.
