The one you linked is far less skippy than my own attempts at capturing it with gifcam. Thank you very much for trying, though, not to mention for making such a fantastic (and complex!) animation!

Not bad, the effect on her hair/mane and tail looks quite believable.  I'm also fond of the eye blink.  The only thing that bugs me is the leg placement as it appears to skip a bit towards the end as the animation reaches the end.  I would recommend inserting some more tween/inbetween shots for the legs/hooves to give it a more fluid feel.  Overall it's quite nice and would do well with some great music.

Thanks for your input!
In the show, I believe the running cycle is 8 frames long. Mine here is actually 9. I think the leg positioning can be improved to make it seem a little less choppy; I could add some tweens too, but I might need to increase the frame rate.

I listened to Black Gryph0n's song "Run " many times while making this ^_^.

It's a good animation, and, with a few minor tweaks, can be made even better.  Keep at it and keep up the good work.

Here's some neat trivia:
Lauren Faust's original concept of Fluttershy had her as an Earth Pony .
Also, instead of Pinkie Pie, Lauren's pitch to Hasbro had "Suprise," a white pegasus pony: mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/Surpr…

Hardly. It's common sense that anyone who calls Fluttershy the worst must have a severe case of psychosis.

Most of the raw artwork was done in Photoshop. I imported all the components I drew into Adobe Flash to render the animation, and I achieved the sun rays effect using After Effects.

Thanks, and Happy almost Valentine's Day to you too!

Oh, but before everything, I made a sort of skeleton animation in flash to nail down the positions of the legs before I drew out each frame of their running cycle
