These kind of statements always confuse me. "Equestria" is used both as the name of the parallel dimension that MLP takes place in...and also as the name of a specific patch of land in said dimension.

I think most of the times (such as the quote you referenced), "Equestria" refers to the entire dimension. And the only character in the cast who can possibly "predate Equestria" is Discord (barring confirmation that God, or something close to God, exists in the universe of the show).
