Twilight is looking for Shepherd near the Schoolhouse. She then hears some yelling and laughing. She sneaks up through the foliage to watch... And she smiles.

Shepherd is in a bowtie and jacket, carrying a scewdriver. He walks with Applebloom, Dinky and Sweetie Bell out of a cardboard box that's painted blue.

Shepherd: *In a British accent* "Come along, Ponds and Clara! We're on this strange alien world so let's have fun!"

Applebloom: "Oh no, Doctor! There's a Weepin' Angel!"

During the Dragon Lord incident, Twilight is freaking out that Garble has the Dragon Staff. Shepherd... Is unconcerned.

Twilight: "But don't you get it, Shepherd?! He's going to declare war!"

Shepherd: "On Equestria."

Twilight: "YES! A whole war with the dragons!"

Shepherd: "I wouldn't worry too much about it."

Twilight: "WHAT?! WHY NOT?!"

Shepherd: "I sent a letter to Princess Celestia about the situation. She's got it well in hand-I mean hoof."

We've had villainous alicorns and unicorns, but no actual Pegasi or Earth Pony villains. Not on the level of Nightmare Moon or Sombra. Sure there was Cozy Glow but still!

Now granted, the unicorn is the mage class and thus more prone to tapping into primeval forces of doom or corruption, but damnit! There should be some evil Pegasi and Earth Ponies! So let's think up some villains!

Shepherd: "So Blueblood... About the Galloping Gala?"

Blueblood: "Oh, with Lady Rarity? I was deliberately acting childish and spoiled to seem unappealing. Like Knob and Knocker the Foal would. I thought she was just another gold digger. That was my fault."

Shepherd: "... Of course there'd be a horse pun for historical figures here."

Blueblood: "It could just be a result of the translation spell."

Shepherd: "Translation spell?"

Shepherd: *Yawning, relaxing, reading a book* "Haaa... What a beautiful day..."

The Mane Six minus Twilight gallop up to him.

All: "SHEPHERD!"

Shepherd: "Hm? What is it, girls? Something wrong?"

Dash: "We need a temporary leader while Twilight's at the Crystal Empire-!"

Applejack: "But we're all votin' for ourselves-"

Rarity: "And we need you to break the tie!"

Pinkie: "Yeah!"

Fluttershy: "Um, if that's okay? I don't really want to be leader-"

Every year, on her birthday, Princess Twilight Sparkle receives a visitor in a funny blue box. The Doctor, or Doctor Whooves. Every year, at the same time. They have tea, maybe a jump to another time or place, and then they return.

Finally, a thousand years after the events of the MLP Finale, Twilight finally asks the question.

Twilight: "... How do you do it?"

Doctor: "Hm?"

Discord: "BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, sweet, wonderful chaos!" *Is making cats and dogs dance in tutus while juggling exploding bananas*

Shepherd: "Pfffft."

Discord: "What-Do you not approve, Shepherd?"

Shepherd: *rolls his eyes* "Well, it was cool seeing you warp reality like this... But after a while it all got... Samey. I mean, chocolate rain? Really?"

Discord: "Hmph! I'm centuries old! Do you really think you can judge my chaos? Come on! Say it!" *He pokes Shepherd in the chest*

In a field near the Everfree Forest...

Shepherd and Chewie are fighting furiously, a pitched battle of grit and sheer masculine strength! Shepherd swung his staff, extending it, but the Manticore leaped over it to try and pounce! Shepherd rolled, retracting his staff and swinging it again as hard as he could at Chewie's front paw! Chewie took the hit, but jumped forward to slash at Shepherd! His claws caught on Shepherd's shirt, and the human pulled back, his shirt coming off!

Given how many Human in Equestria stories there are, it's inevitable that certain patterns will pop up: Anon the Human, 20-30 years old, who just chills out and often gets laid. You can do this well, but there is so much more you can do with this concept. And while I've seen it a few times, here's a different take on it with Andrew Shepherd as a stand in:
