@BenRG, what's also ironic is the fact that Fluttershy is the exception in regards to Earth pony animal care. What also adds to that fact is that she was originally planned to be an Earth pony but Faust and the original show staff switched Surprise's and Posey's pony breeds around. Posey was the original Fluttershy and Surprise was the Pegasus Pinkie Pie. It is also down to Fluttershy's unique way of getting a cutie mark that she could communicate with animals. Fluttershy is the exception to the rule. I would also add that any scale agriculture is done by Earth ponies. No other breed of pony was or has been seen growing food in Equestria.
