MLP Season 8 - March 24 (Only on Discovery Family)

The new season looks like a School of Friendship will be introduced. The Mane 6 and Starlight Glimmer will teach other ponies as well as some new characters about friendship. There appears to be a Yak, a dragon, and a reformed changeling among the new students.

The new season is upon us!

We got to see the new season 8 antagonist, Chancellor Neighsay, the head of the Equestrian Educational Association or EEA. We even got to meet the new students: Ocellus, a reformed changeling, Smolder, a dragon, Yona, a Yak, Sandbar, an earth pony (Vincent Tong voiced him), and Princess Silver Stream, the Hippogryph niece of Queen Novo (Skystar's cousin) and Gallus, a young Griffon.

Silver Stream is able to change into her terrestrial form and her aquatic form thanks to the piece of the Pearl of Transformation (i believe Queen Novo broke the pearl and gave each of her subjects and her family a piece of this artifact so they can choose between the aquatic seapony form of Seaequestria and the aerial form of the Hippogryph on Mt. Aris.

Nice to also see the adult representatives of these new students for the Friends and Family Day event Twilight puts on to welcome them to the school, take a tour (kinda like an Open house thing).
