Considering the Sandman series on netflix is terrible and has the creator of the comic series in charge of basically everything, it's true that having them work on it isn't a guarantee of it turning out good.
That one older live action disney movie Horse Sense barely has any horses in it but it really had a lot of soul when it came to the parts about horses. It's really rare to have it work and not be "this is a unicorn it acts like rainbows and glitter and sells toys exclusively!" I hope to get more of any type of media that is horse/unicorn focused that doesn't just rely solely on that fact for the characters. FiM of course falls into a lot of archetypes and tropes but that's because it had to be, the fact that it got more was just because it actually had spirit despite being made for toys and children. It really found a good place between being about ponies and being able to have characters that don't rely heavily on being ponies. I've never read the warrior cats books but I feel something similar, in the sense that it is a thing that goes beyond just "these are cats" and is able to exist as a world and story, could be a push in the right direction. Horse books feel a lot like ranch romance for old women or little girl books about a girl and her horse, not enough that can capture the heart of what it is to love horses and how they each have their own personality and lives beyond sugar cubes and running.

What do you do if the book already has a pony in it? If you turn everyone into ponies what do you turn the pony into to ensure everything makes sense?

I personally quite like Twilight but this is both cute and something she wouldn't approve of whatsoever.
