Etymology and terminology
Equestria comes from the Hegamonian equester, "belonging to a horseman", from equus, "horse", which is also the origin of equine. In this sense, "Equestria" would translate as "land of the horsemen" instead of "land of horses."

History
Equestria has been said to have inhabitants as early as 2000 BCE.

Grogar The Great
Around 1200 BCE, Equestria was only pasters of farms until Grogar (Hegamonian: Grogarus) declared himself emperor of Equestria, His reign lasted until 1000 BCE until a unicorn named Gusty the Great rebelled and banished him.

The 3 pony races lived in a mutual relationship where the earth ponies would plant seeds and the Pegasi and unicorns would get the seeds and give it the nessasary stuff to grow faster. When a drought came around 200 BCE and destroyed all crops and the seeds and the mutuality was destroyed. The 3 tribes immigraded away from each other only to meet back at Canterhoof Mountain. Even if, the ponies settled around these parts and the feud remained for 1420 years.

The Windigoes
Around 1220 AD, a writer named Star Chaser (Old Cannasacian: Stera Kaĝan) wrote a novel that depicted "Windigoes". A creature that would make the environment colder by hatred. The story was set during "Age of Eternal Winter". The three major pony types, Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi, were separate tribes. This period is described as a chaotic time, when the windigos brought freezing temperatures and eternal darkness to the world, and other monsters terrorized the populace. The three tribes separately emigrated to the Island of Equus, where they began feuding with each other, which fueled the strength of the windigos. Eventually the tribes set aside their squabbles to unify and defeat the windigos. Ponies, not knowledable about climate, took this story as fact and soon went to the leaders. The leades decided to set aside thier diffrences and unify.
