Considering the crystal ponies have been robbed of their free will, and forced to fight, it actually makes sense Celestia would tell the guards to not use spears. Still looks a bit funny, tho

My point is showcasing what the above war would result in.
Sombra’s helmets give them an advantage in terms of physical assaults, but these bloodsport fights also show how RD most likely lost the chunk in her ear and got the scar on her face.
Horses don’t naturally fight until bloody like that; most fights are only shows that last until a pecking order has been achieved. Only horses trained to fight each other by humans in blood sports will attack each other to the point of serious harm and death.

I remember going to to horsemanship camp in 2007. At first they assigned me this old Palomino gelding to groom for the week. But as I was using the curry comb, I noticed a few scars from some recent wounds on his back and withers. One of them was fresh, too. So they had to assign me a different horse for the week.
