@Iusedtolie,

Just because Rainbow Dash thinks unicorn magic is 'for eggheads' doesn't mean that the pegasi aren't using magic for all their special abilities, incluidng flying. However, it seems to be at least partly subconscious, so it's quite possible that they think of it more as 'just doing what pegasi do' rather than true magic.

I, for one, am a strong believer in a 'all ponies are magic' approach. It's just that the term 'magic' is usally associated with unicorns' more flashy achievements rather than the everyday use of power by most ponies (flight for Pegasi, plant and rock shaping by earth ponies and telekinesis for unicorns).
