In a cool bit of trivia from Celia Kaspar, the earth pony village and the earth ponies themselves were to be styled based on Viking and Celtic themes. I like what we ended up with but I've got to admit these early sketches do look pretty cool!

Here's a trip waaay back in time... When we explored the pony world we tried the very different idea of a medieval time, with the earth pony village being referenced by celtic and viking imagery ✨
Sooo these are some earth ponies with fancy tattoos and braided hairstyles.
What do you think about viking earth ponies? 😊
Thanks to Pipp_Petal for the heads up!
