I don't like the idea of rearranging season 2, since those episodes were released nearly in sync with the time of year the episodes took place. Luna Eclipsed aired near Halloween, Hearth's Warming Eve aired during the winter holiday season, Hearts and Hooves Day aired near Valentine's Day.

It is also possible that maybe Rainbow Dash had been busy the last couple of winters and this was the first one she was actually free to spend with Tank. [Tank may have hibernated those years without her knowledge.]  She finally has winter off and Tank has to hibernate.

[Why doesn't Tank just hibernate at Rainbow Dash's place? She could have made him a room just for that purpose.]

Oh, and don't forget that issues 11 & 12 of the comic take place shortly before the first wedding anniversary of Shining Armor and Cadence (ie one year after A Canterlot Wedding) [and Twilight wasn't yet an alicorn in that comic] [incidently, those issues take place before issues 9 & 10 since issue 11 mentions that the wedding anniversary will take place at the same time as 9 & 10's Summer Wrap Up Festival and Hoedown] and Equestria GIrls took place in the fall following her accention (unless that universe's seasonal rotation is out of sync with Equestria's) and Princess Twilight Sparkle tooke place the summer after that (Rarity mentioned something about getting Twilight to stop wearing the crown everywere, indicating that she may have been aftair of losing it again following her first mirror jump.)  So Season 2 and 3 probably didn't happen in less than a year [if 100 moons is 100 months, than Friendship is Magic Part 1 and Apple Family Reunion took place over 8 years apart; but we'll never know how long a moon actually is]. There had to have been at least one or two winters before this epiosde.

But than again, maybe a year in Equestia is similar to the year King Arthur and his knights dealt with in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn... until one day..."
