Well, if the diplomacy thing were to happen, the pony who would probably go to Earth on behalf of the ponies would be Princess Twilight Sparkle, the only alicorn who has been to Earth.

So yeah, historically ponies are a recent addition to the IaLR Universe. Though keep in mind that The New Adventures of the Red Crystals happens long before Red Fork or any of his friends join the gang. It could possibly happen during the Season 1 of IaLR, to justify why the gang isn't in Echo Creek to help with the threats that show up.
