I wonder what the gender split actually is

I mean, the majority that we see are mares.

But, really, there have to be guys around there somewhere.

Or is Equestria really the female-majority country? And is Ponyville really the female capital of the world?

I should probably get a twitter for these weird thoughts, but I had them and now you know them.

Also, still trudging along with the final chapter. I'm easily 10-15% done with it, too!

I saw an analysis video on this subject once that explained it quite clearly:
Ponyville is a farming community. The majority of the stallions are working the fields, while the majority of the mares are keeping the town itself running. Then you have to factor in that we are following teenaged mares around, and realize that where they want to go isn't necessarily where the in-town colts are hanging out.

For a better depiction of the gender split, you need to look at episodes like Winter Wrapup, when you can actually see the menfolk in action, and any episode set in a big city.
