Zecora's hut is located in the forest and it is also home to some strange creatures, including ursas, timberwolves and parasprites. The Tree of Harmony is found far into the forest, in a gorge located near the Castle of the Two Sisters.

Map of the south of Equestria, from IDW comics main series issue #2

Most locations in the television series and associated media aren't specified whether they're part of Equestria or not. Some information in the show sometimes vaguely references areas outside Equestria, and even though Equestria is a kingdom it encompasses other kingdoms within it, which creates further ambiguity. The founding and naming of Equestria itself is depicted in the episode Hearth's Warming Eve. These elements, and some stylistic elements, create the impression of other geographical locations:

• The song Apples to the Core in Pinkie Apple Pie mentions "the pony nation / From Equestria and beyond".
• Fluttershy asks for "French haute couture" in Suited For Success.
• In The Cutie Pox, Applejack says Apple Bloom "speaks in 'Fancy'" when her sister uses the French language.
• Queen Chrysalis says in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 that "Equestria has more love than any place [she has] ever encountered".
• Aquastria, featured in the book Under the Sparkling Sea, has its own ruler, the sea lion king Leo, cousin of Princess Celestia, who formally invites the main characters to his underwater realm. The kingdom is also mentioned in the title History of Aquastria on page 6 of The Fall of Sunset Shimmer, and its inhabitants, seaponies and mermares, first seen in the book, are also mentioned and seen in various materials.
• King Leo "sits on the Cosmic Council alongside his cousin, Princess Celestia."
• In My Little Pony The Movie, "the Mane 6 – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity – embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship and save their home."
• In a Panini My Little Pony magazine comic whose German title translates to No Way Too Far, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Spike journey beyond the Everfree Forest to a barley field outside of Equestria and befriend a local stallion.

Prince Blueblood, Shining Armor, and some royal guards visit Yakyakistan for a diplomatic mission to set up a trade agreement between it and the Crystal Empire.
