Seriously, Lauren Faust, the creator of the show, worked on Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, two great shows. Just give it a chance. (brony since the OG days of early 2011)
Edit: Forgot to mention that Scootaloo, as you can guess by her name, rides a scooter. At one point in the show, she did a full whip. (well more like a 360 late whip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8gE1Oqy8Bw at 2:01
