But how do Earth Ponies cast magic? Unicorn have their horn as a "wand" of some kind, as an exit of magical energy, but Earth Ponies have no such exit as far as I'm aware of, therefor they're not able to cast spells.

Also: Earth Ponies have not the same kind of magic as Unicorns, as Lauren Faust stated, they "have a magically ingrained connection to the earth that makes them better at working with plants and animals."

There are exceptions to any rule (like Fluttershy being good with animals and bad at flying), but until this issue is explored, this is a plot hole.
