Despite what most unicorns (and some pegasi) will say, earth ponies have their own strengths. We’re stronger, we live longer and we’re far more durable. When is the last time you saw an old pegasus or unicorn? Being an Earth Pony is not just “a pegasus without wings” or “a unicorn without a horn.”
It seems to me that if it just takes a pair of wings and a horn to be an alicorn, then earth ponies have the greatest potential to be the strongest alicorns. That’s why if I had to be a pony and could choose what race I could be, I’d choose to be an earth pony.
