This is late as fuck, but wouldn’t it make more sense to draw a line through Twilight to the inside top edge of the door frame and calculate her height that way?
Alicorn plot has the right height to not need a bucket.
Point.
your current filter.Yeah, here’s the thing: all of your measurements are up to the tips of the ponies’ ears. Not often, but seldom do the ponies let their ears droop down the backs of their heads… kind of like cats when they’re upset. It artificially adds a few inches to each of their heights. The only way to accurately measure them is to do so to the tops of their heads—can’t measure to their hairstyles because what if a pony is bald? What if they have a wild, out-of-control mohawk that sticks up an extra foot? Horns are out; can’t use something that pegasi and earth ponies don’t have. The only way to measure is by the tops of their heads…
…luckily, in most cases, it’s made simple by the fact that most average-sized ponies in the show have heads that are perfectly circular in shape with the muzzle protruding from the front. For the various princesses… harder, but still doable by the same guideline.

I’ve done most of the important math for you—the candy cane is sitting at about a 13.75° lean. If you measure along that angle from where it sticks out of the ground to the “top” of the candy cane, it comes out to 817.35 pixels high. On the other side, I measured the candy cane straight from the top of the candy cane to the two “corners” at the bottom of the pole; one measures 841 pixels high, the other measures 816… which is eerily close to the 817.35 we got measuring it along the slant, isn’t it? (In the measurements given in the link above, I use a median measurement between those two values from a 720p screenshot; upscaled to 1080p, it would come out to the same median value if you measured it here: 828 pixels.) Even still, the maximum difference between 841 and 816 in pixels per inch is…?
Okay, let’s start from the top—average door frame height is 6’8” (80 inches) or 203cm. From the edge you measured, the door is 853 pixels high (though the protruding edge at the bottom is obscured by Spike’s tail) and Twilight is 696 pixels from the top of her head to her heels… but wait! If someone measures the door from the other edge, the door becomes 936 pixels tall—a discrepancy of over 80 pixels, almost 10%! If we measure by your standard:

And yes, before anyone comments and complains, I measure the “bottom” of Twilight along the heel of her inner foot, which roughly corresponds to the center of her shadow, which in turn would indicate the center of her mass. So since neither of these values are correct in themselves, we’re gonna take the two height values we have and average them out. 65.28 - 59.48 = 5.8… so let’s halve that, add it to the lower value. Voila! Human Twilight is now 62.38 inches, though to keep it concise, let’s put her height as 5’2½” (158cm)… with heels, of course. Without, she still seems to fall close to the earlier five-foot estimate.
.97 to 1.07 meters for you heathens.
Odd that it measures to the tops of the ears, though, but it works. I love how these actually-serious size chart analyses tend to turn up the same small range numbers.
If Rarity is actually 97cm the gem is somewhere near 1000 carats (200g). While “at least twenty carats” would remain technically true, it would be strange for someone who works with gems regularly to give such a bad estimate.
Of course this is a writing error. The point is that the scaling in the show is not rigorous. 100cm (as above) seems like a good typical pony height but I think 85-130 would be defensible.
If a normal pony were over 130cm, then Celestia would be larger than the largest earthly horses, which seems implausible.
If a normal pony were under 85cm, her toast would tend to land butter side up when knocked off the table, making her too difficult for humans to relate to.
Well if they weight the same as a real pony of that size they would be about 175 pounds
They didn’t exactly intend you, either.
I’m still adding the tag.
Just letting it go wouldn’t be any fun.
The dissection and examination of the show is (to me) one of the most interesting things the fandom has to offer.
