I know some people can't stand identifying themselves without a group to "belong" to, but I can't stand that personally.

Adding "Ies" to it doesn't negate that. The fact that the drama has come enough that "Pegasisters" was needed to be coined, and that the question of, "what is a female brony called?" keeps coming up, there's an issue. 3> It still sounds too close to "brownies" for comfort. 4> Pony is a four letter word.
