Ponydale is the starter town for earth ponies. It is a small town with many cottage-like buildings featuring thick straw roofs. The silhouette of Cantermore castle is visible in the distance if one looks towards the mountains. A train station that allows transportation to either Cantermore or the Crystal Kingdom can be found to the west of Ponydale.
Places of interest
Sweet Apple Orchard
Sweet Apple Orchard is an apple farm just a short walk away from Ponydale. Although mainly apples are grown in this farm, carrots and other crops are cultivated as well. Low-leveled Bunnies are scattered about in the back field making it a good place for new players to train up their combat talent.
Sugarcane Corner
Sugarcane Corner is a confectionery shop located in the heart of Ponydale. Its unique gingerbread-frosted roof makes it a distinct landmark among the straw-roofed cottages in the town. Players may enter the building, which serves mainly as a gathering point for groups. Various music from the Brony community is played as the location's soundtrack.
Gem Mines
The Gem Mines is a cave system accessible from the northeastern edge of the town. Luminescent crystals and gems litter the tunnels, providing faint illumination. Low-leveled Husky Diamond Dogs can be found patrolling the mine, making this place an ideal location for new players training combat.
The town hall
Ponydale's town hall is the most iconic building within Ponydale, rising above most other structures in the vicinity. Other than being a landmark to aid players in local navigation, the town hall holds no other purpose.
The Boutique
The Boutique is a building which serves as both living quarters and a clothing store. While only the upper level containing the bedroom is accessible, the merchant NPC Marvell can be found within selling socks.
Ponydale Library
Ponydale Library can be found in the northwestern region of the town. The structure is built directly into a large tree, with a bedroom on the upper level. Open books can be found on the ground floor, though they are blank. A stairway leads to the basement level, which is blocked off by a locked door.
Ponydale Park
The Park can be found on the east side of Ponydale. Dancer can be found here giving out dandelions which he picked from the ground.

Trivia
- In early versions of the game, a Pac-Man like game could be accessed by entering a well near Sugarcane Corner. A pegasus racing game involving hoops was also present. Both minigames have been removed as they have been deemed nonessential for core gameplay.
- Between Open Server Events 8 and 9, the map orientation for Ponydale was rotated 180 degrees. Previously, the river was on the north and west and the railroad on the east.
