Horses are known for their Fight or Flight instinct, so it may carry over to magical ponies.

There's whole discussions on whether the show would be as popular if the ponies were different animals. That's good evidence it wouldn't. :)

Also, I'm not sure it's necessarily a headcanon as it's probably a sign of the writers Showing Their Work.
I’m mostly here for... something to do, I suppose.

There are those among us who walk the wasteland of MLP fanfiction to find nuggets of brilliant prose and profound insight into the nature of men and ponies.

There are also guys who just find weird shit and quote it out of whatever bizarre context it had.

It really works with Ponies, because Ponies are social.
"Friendship with Magic" can not work with Cats, Domestic Cats are cute, but real cats are very isolationist and have no social interaction besides their mother and mate.
