pony genetics are strange i mean just look at the cake twins, both parents are earth ponies and they ended up with one pegasus child and one unicorn child. so they must have been recessive gene carriers for those results to occur. as for princess flurry heart's abnormal alicorn appearance, well we don't know who cadance's biological parents are, since she was found as an abandoned orphan pegasus foal and raised by earth ponies until she was ascended to alicornhood and crowned a princess. at least we know that shining armour is a pure unicorn. however the question remains is the abnormality that flurry has, a result of cadance's transform from a pegasus into an alicorn or did cadance already have alicorn genes that were dormant. since there are a few unicorns whose body shape may indicate dormant alicorn genes, example - Fleur Dis Lee and Sassy Saddles.
