Makes sense. Pip said it was his first Halloween, so he's probably 1 year old.

Lauren said they breed like normal horses, so who to say they don't live like them? However this makes Celestia's immortality worse, since she sees her friends wither away quicker.

But Twilight was surprised it was his first Halloween overall, so he's probably much older and didn't celebrate before for some reason.

^^ He didn't celebrate it cause he's a Brit (or at least from Brit-sounding Trottingham).

They aren't as big on Halloween (or Nightmare Night...?) across the pond.

You just copied the age conversion table for norm horses, but yeah, I've been saying the same thing.

Also, Roboshi, no. The exact quote goes like this:

“They are young adults, but with a maturity level of anywhere from 12 - 18. I guess I sort of justify it in my head that in real life, horses are adults by the time they are 2 or so. MLPs are horses with human brains, so they grow up fast, but mature slower....?” (December 5, 2010. fyre-flye.deviantart.com)

Note the lack of reference to what sort of time measurement is -actually- used in Equestria.

[PS. You should all know by now that word of what does not happen in the show is not neccessary unchangeable canon, even if She says it.]

I do prefer the theory that these are their actual ages, but it may also simply mean that they simply mature at different rates between life stages than humans.

Here's another tidbit of headfanon: maybe Equestria was like Earth originally, but after Discord messed up the weather, the motion of the planets, animal behavior and such ponies had to take charge of making it all work. But THEY of course chose to arrange it in a way that suited their life spans and way of life the best. So the reason apple bucking season lasts only a few days, and that winter can be wrapped up in a day is because the seasons move faster (which may be important for agriculture). So while ponies still live for what we'd call 30+ year, the definition of "year" or even "day" changed to mean a shorter period of time.

I went Trick-o-Treating when I was one, and he'd be almost 7 in pony years.
