Which story would be the one that has the least anthropomorphism?

Good question. My first guess would be this one, but honestly, I am unsure. Mlp characters are already anthropomorphized, so it is uncommon for them to be more feral. This one is more alien culture, but does read somewhat xenofiction.

This one also has a decent amount of that. There are absolutely others, but I don't tract by that, so it will take me a while to find more examples.

Honestly, a ton of the stuff by Admiral Biscuit qualifies.

This group is clearly what you are looking for, but it seems pretty small.

Honestly, a big issue is that I group more Feral behaviors and cultural differences together. So I have to remember the stories where ergonomics especially are different, moreso than culture, but some cultural differences are very much based on Ponies themselves.

And lastly, because I feel obliged to, This one. Not MLP related, but one of the best pieces of Xenofiction I've ever found.

Regular xenofiction is still fine, thanks. Some of those I am familiar with, the others go to their own special folder. :twilightsmile:
Yes, AO3 has some, I've been browsing there occasionally. Lots of centaurs and unicorns there. Bought a few books as well, whatever I could find on Goodreads.
The Guardian Herd, The Firebringer and Horses of the Dawn are good. Got a few non-equine xenofiction books on my wishlist.

Hmm. Could you link some of those AO3 Stories?

I can link more, but my AO3 "Library" is a buch of links, most of it I don't even remember. There are at least two good ones I will have to track down.

Pretty much the entire catalog by
https://www.fimfiction.net/user/29923/D+G+D+Davidson

All of his works put emphasis in world building ponies as equines, not humans who look like ponies.

Out of those this one:
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/104914/the-mixed-up-life-of-brad

Is probably the best in that regards, though its a HIE it's really Brad trapped in a truly alien world that keeps expanding. Unfortunately a he had a bad habit to not complete stories, but his are about the only ones i feel comfortable recommending even in that state because of how big an effort he put into making sure ponies act like ponies.

Of complete works, if you dont mind a few NSFW scenes, then

The author is actually knows a lot about horses and developed the world in his stories to fit actual equine behavior in a less than industrialized society, it's an excellent read if you want xenofiction.

A more light read is

Rarity gets transported to the wild west, unlike nearly every fic on a pony on earth where ponies seem to be just talking dogs, she is actually just a pony, just intelligent and with a horn, with all that implies, exploring how terrifying it actually is to have the strongest and fastest intelligent being in a room being a horse instead of a human. It takes a weird turn at the end but its a fun read.
