Foals

Unlike previous My Little Pony generations, slightly smaller ponies are not called baby ponies in MLP:FiM. Younger sisters such as Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle aren't referred to as babies, and the younger versions of the leading characters are simply referred to as "young". A notable exception is presented in the episode Call of the Cutie, where the school-teacher Cheerilee shows a picture of herself at a very young age, and later contrasts it with another picture of herself at about the same age of her students. Cheerilee is wearing typical '80s teenage fashion in the second picture, which implies her students are teenagers themselves.
