Hasbro's interactions with ''My Little Pony'' fans have been rather muted, if not mostly negative, when compared to other franchises they own. From [[2005]] to [[2016]], Hasbro would sponsor ''[[My Little Pony Fair]]'', a ''My Little Pony'' fan convention by giving them funding and official merchandise to sell. However, beginning in [[2017]], Hasbro would stop their sponsoring to instead host the (ultimately failed) [[HasCon]] series of events, though the Pony Fair would continue as a fan event.
Hasbro has been known to DMCA various fan productions, such as ''My Little Pony Online'' and ''Them's Fightin' Herds'', the latter was eventually rebranded as an original property.
Hasbro has hired a small number of fans in the later years of [[Generation 4]]. From the [[Make-a-Wish Foundation]], [[Lex Heule]], [[Sylvain-Nicholas LeVasseur-Portelance]] and [[Adam Bengis]] have all portrayed minor characters. Similarly, a number of fan artists, such as [[Andrew Hickinbottom]], have produced official ''My Little Pony'' merchandise.
