Pretty sure ponies weight a little bit more than 55-ish pounds.
Plus, they use magic to fly (because their wingspan is nowhere big enough to support them) so the extra magic can counter the recoil somewhat. Rainbow Dash could throw a rock as big as her head across a small lake and stay in place, and catch a free-falling Fluttershy without moving an inch.
Assuming the weight of the gun doesn’t shift her center of balance forward and pull her down. But in this event, she could fire the weapon and effectively rocket jump.
Flying pony isn’t anchored to anything at all. Assuming ponies are about the size of small dogs for a reference weight of 25 kg, this little lady should be rocketing back at a very rough estimate of 1.8 m/s if she keeps hold of the gun, or the gun alone moving back at 3 m/s if her grip slips.

Bitches love cannons!
