Promotional versions
In October 2012, as part of promoting the two-parter episode "A Canterlot Wedding", a promotional version of the song "Love Is Bloom" (extended version) was released, with a very similar adaptation to the version presented in the official dub. There is no information available about the singer of this version, or the recording studio it was performed in.

In October 2015, a "botargas" show called "My Little Pony Equestria Girls: El show en vivo" began in ; one of its first presentations was in the show "Venga la alegría" on the channel Azteca 13, where they presented the songs "This Is Our Big Night" (Equestria Girls), and an extended version of "Let the Rainbow Remind You". Also included in the show is an extended version of the show's opening theme. This show continued throughout Mexico and Latin America, and featured the participation of some of the dubbing actresses from the main dub. Carla Castañeda (Twilight) decided not to participate "due to the very low budget of the organizers", being replaced both in dialogue and songs by Annie Rojas (Starlight).

Live performances
There were several live performances of the songs by the actors of the dubs, that were performed at Mexican brony cons. A few of the performences were the first previews of the Spanish dub of the songs.

Other live performances that have been said to exist, but are not available online anymore, are:
 * Maggie Vera premiering "So Many Wonders" at BronyMexiCon.
 * Melissa Gedeón premiering "Smile Song" at BronyMexiCon Gala.
 * Maggie Vera premiering "This Day Aria" at BronyMexiCon Gala.

Demo DVD dub
As with other dubs of the show, a Spanish demo dub of the episode "The Ticket Master" was issued and sold on DVDs in 2011, featuring a different voice cast for the main characters. Twilight was still voiced by Carla Castañeda, but with a much more childlike tone. When the finalized dub was being produced, this episode was re-recorded with the new cast for consistency.

Meet the Ponies
Shortly after the premiere of the third season finale, Hasbro uploaded videos containing scenes from the series, focused on introducing each of the protagonists. Leyla Rangel is the narrator in the Spanish dub of these.

Commercial dubbing
There are various My Little Pony toy commercials that have dubbing that were produced in, as stated by Analiz Sánchez. The actress who dubs them from 2014 is Laura Azul.

Censorship

 * "Darn" is removed from all episodes except for The Last Roundup, when Rainbow Dash says "¡Rayos!".
 * "Oh my gosh!", "Oh my goodness!" and similar expressions are replaced with "¡No puede ser!" ('It can't be!') and "¡Qué emoción!" ('What a thrill!'). In Celestial Advice, it was translated as '¡Ay!'.
 * "Cider" is censored in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 due to it typically being an alcoholic beverage, being replaced with "jugo de manzana" (apple juice). The word was censored most episodes except for Sisterhooves Social when Rarity says "...Es el aroma a cidra de manzana tibia" ('...It's the aroma of warm apple cider').
 * It is uncensored and mentioned as "cidra" since Bats!.
 * "Stupid" is removed in It Ain't Easy Being Breezies and replaced in other episodes with "tonto" ('fool'/'silly').
 * Episode 40 was broadcast with the censored version of the Derpy Hooves scene, where her name is not mentioned, and her eyes are less crossed.

Additionally, Discovery Kids is prone to making cuts and censoring many scenes of the show that they would deem to be unsuitable for its target demographic, or otherwise for time.
 * The season nine episode "The Last Crusade", as well as the series finale "The Last Problem", were initially banned from airing the channel, likely due to the presence of same-sex couples. The former features Scootaloo's aunts, while the latter implies that Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon are married. Eventually, the former aired on the channel on February 8, 2020, a few days after the dub's initial run was completed. However, the latter has still yet to air; it was released instead in the.

Translations and adaptation
As a trend in the franchise, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a show with many typical puns of the English language in names, objects, places, and phrases, the most common being the replacement of anybody and its variants. The Latin American dubbing tries to maintain this with various translations; in many occasions the translation ranges from quite difficult to simply impossible. Listed below are the attempts to translate these phrases:
 * Somepony and anypony are replaced with "alguien" ('someone' or 'somebody').
 * Everypony is replaced with "todos" ('everyone' or 'everybody') in some episodes, like Secret of My Excess.
 * Everypony is rarely replaced in few episodes as:
 * "Amigas" ('Friends') in season 1.
 * In season 2:
 * "Ponis" ('Ponies').
 * "Amigas poni" ('Pony friends').

 * Everypony, somepony, and anypony are correctly translated in the rest of episodes of season 2 and in all season 3 as:
 * "Algún poni" ('some pony').
 * "Cualquier poni" y "ningún poni" (they mean 'any pony').
 * "Todos los ponis" ('every pony').

 * In episode 1, at the beginning the legend of "la yegua en la luna" (Mare in the Moon) is mentioned. From its sixth mention, it was changed to "la mare en la luna".

Differences with the original version

 * In the original, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big McIntosh, and Granny Smith all speak with a country accent like the rest of the Apple family. In the dub, it is only Applejack and Braeburn who maintain such an accent.
 * Specifically, Applejack and Braeburn use country expressions, but speak with a mix of Southern American and Mexican accents.
 * As of the second season, Zecora speaks entirely in rhymes like her original version, which was not as frequent in the first season.
 * Princess Luna has a characterization with her language (she speaks in an archaic manner). In the dubbing, this was not kept, except for referring to herself as nosotros instead of nos, and speaking to the interlocutors of ustedes, instead of vosotros.
 * Princess Luna has a language characterization (she speaks in an archaic manner). For the dubbing, this was not kept, except for referring to herself as us instead of us and to her interlocutors she spoke of you instead of you.
 * All flashbacks are re-recorded, with slight differences in pronunciation.
 * The dub is complete and no loops are recycled, as is the case with the original version.


 * In episode 9, because of the blue flowers, Applejack shrinks and with it, her voice sharpens. This doesn't happen in the dub.
 * In episode 18, the point of the Cutie Mark Crusaders Song was that Scootaloo went off-key (which the audience would be upset about). This was removed in the dub as she sings in the most normal way.
 * The Diamond Dogs from episode 19 are based on Gollum from . Notably in the dub, was taken as the base voice, instead of.
 * Per client decision, Nightmare Moon eventually retained Luna's voice, unlike the first season, and it is much more loyal to the original version.
 * For some reason, episode 4 "Daring Don't" was named Daring Do on Discovery Kids, when its official name is Un poco de ayuda, as stated in the title voice-over.
 * Dr. Caballeron's name was pronounced "Caballeron" (like "horse" or "gentleman") instead of "Caballerón", which is how it was originally pronounced.

Dubbing errors

 * Throughout the first season and in other episodes of the series, Fluttershy's name is mispronounced, mentioning her as Flotershai instead of Flodershai.
 * In episode 11, Apple Bloom says Pie (as in the desert) in the wrong way.
 * In episode 36, Scootaloo mistakenly mentions the group (consisting only of girls) as los Cutie Mark Crusaders.
 * In episode 39, Carrot Cake names his son Pound Cake as Carrot Cake by mistake.
 * In that same episode, a loop of Pound Cake is removed.
 * In episode 50, Pinkie Pie mentions MMMM with a wrong acronym in one scene.
 * Apple Bloom says "Querida..." as the beginning of the letter to Celestia when she only says "Oh..." in the original version.
 * In episode 41, Flim's "No lo podrás creer" loop was mistimed and cut off.
 * Also during their song, the Flim and Flam brothers say "...somos los grandes Flim-Flam Hermanos", which is incorrect in the Spanish language.
 * In one scene, Twilight says "vamos chicas, salvemos Big Apple Acres!"
 * In episode 42, a scene is completely cut from the Discovery Kids broadcast, since the commercial breaks are not the same as the original version.
 * A translation error occurs in episode 66; a royal guard arrives before Twilight, warning that the Everfree Forest is "invading" (invadiendo) Ponyville. In the dub, the guard says that the Everfree Forest has been "invaded" (invadido). Subsequent mentions of this fact correct the error.
 * The song "Winter Wrap Up" is poorly mixed in 5.1 audio, with sound effects and no main vocals in the center channel, with the main vocals in the left and right channels, and another channel with an instrumental totally different from the original song.
 * In the episode "Frenemies", in the song "Better Way to Be Bad", Lord Tirek's phrase is changed when he says "I'm smarter, stronger, and I don't need you two", to "Inteligente soy y no las quiero"; this is inconsistent as Queen Chrysalis then calls him out and says "mas fuerte, ok" (stronger, okay), when he never mentioned the strong part.
