Description

The numeric system we humans use has a base count of zero to nine, this is because we have ten fingers. Ponies have four hooves, so logically their numeric system would have a base of four. But I have made this variation after a few conversations and so this numeric system has a base of sixteen (0 - 15).

No you don’t. In a positional base system we use, we need it. Where 10 is larger than 1, which the 0 denotes.
 
But there are other number system, like bijective. In bijective base 9, you have the 9 digits from 1 to 9 (values 1 to 9). After 9 comes 11 (value 10), 12 (value 11), to 19 (value 18), then 21 (value 19), up to 99 (value 90), then 111 (value 91). A 0 is never used.
 
You also got the Roman system: I, II, III, IV, V, VI … IX X XI (9, 10, 11) … CMXCIX, M, MI (999, 1000, 1001). A 0 is never used here either.
 
To express zero of something, you can say that there’s none of it, or there’s nothing.

You could probably argue that Pegasi generally have five primary feathers on each wing, and they’re responsible for base 10 numbering.
 
I might be pulling stuff right out of my ass but who cares.

Base-16, or hexadecimal doesn’t go to 0-15. I have an example of what a base-16 may look like.

(Instead of the inverted 2-7, you can also use A-F.)

The pony language in the show has more than only horseshoes… such as wings, heads and more.
 
However… simply replacing an English letter into each symbol doesn’t make it a unique language.
 
Having unique letters and a unique language such as the Klingon language would be more interesting.

While the idea of it being based on fours has some sense, at the same time I’m not sure if they would actually do that - basing things on tens seems a lot more convenient. And the sixteen things is like completely out of nowhere. Besides, don’t they already use normal numbers in the show?
 
Anyway, I think it’s best to just do it normally and stick to 0-9.
