What might have caused an Equestrian Baby Boom?
Due to the art style, it's hard to see exactly how old a lot of the background/supporting characters are supposed to be.
However, I've noticed (via flashbacks, photographs, etc.) that a lot of the major supporting characters/background ponies are seemingly around the age of the Mane Six. They might be a little older or younger, but they fall in that same basic age range.
Also, I get the impression that a lot of the random ponies that the Mane Six encounter are meant to be the same age, as well, unless they are explicitly drawn/performed as older.
(That could be explained by simply being easier for animators and performers, but this is my discussion thread, so I'm going with a Watsonian/in-universe explanation.)
As of right now, the popular assumption is that the Mane Six are in their early 20s. If that's true, then a not-insignificant amount of ponies are in the same age-range.
What might have caused an Equestrian Baby Boom around 20 or so years before the present?
In our world, baby booms occurred for various reasons, including advances in medical science and the end of wars.
Assuming that my theory (that a disproportionate amount of the Equestrian population is in their early-to-mid 20s) is correct, what might have caused this baby boom?
