An efficiency record has to be worth something. I mean, 80 Ponies putting out 10 wp's apiece has got to be more economical than a hundred-odd Ponies barely wheezing out sixes and sevens.

If wing power is equal to horsepower, then Dashie exceeds a real horse's maximum output (14.9, which only lasts a few seconds) by 1.6 hp (with small adjustments for a hydraulic horsepower scale.)

= flow rate ( US gal/ min) × pressure ( psi) × 7/12,000

or = flow rate (US gal/min) × pressure (psi) / 1714 = 550 ft·lbf /s = 745.699872 W

Incidentally, Fluttershy's maximum output is about on par with a human athlete (2.5 hp in short bursts, 0.3 sustained over 2-23 hours), so she shouldn't feel so bad.

So just how much water did the reservoir hold, if it took just over 800 wp's to move every drop?
