What about donkeys, Saddle Arabian ponies, breezies/flutter ponies, and sea ponies?

i think it’s more plausible that the three tribes came from the alicorns themselves
 
like how certain traits (i.e. wings, horns)propagate more successfully

@Sound Mind  
The fact that changelings and ponies share a very similar anatomy may be a result of convergent evolution (recall that the wing has been evolved for at least four times), rather than that they share a common ancestor “Protoequinuus”.

I would debate the relationship between Changelings & Ponies.  
They seem like a whole other species that just sort-of evolved in a way that lets them better hunt for means of sustenance

Stop Right There!
Not sure about alicorns, but it’s pretty clear that unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies have not diverged. They clearly intermix, so they are at best sub-species, but probably to close to even be considered that.
