Just like Hundred Years War.

At this point, Continuity might as well be dead because nothing in this show is MAKING ANY GOD DAMN SENSE!

Princess Celestia wrote a lot in her calendar that year.

curse thee time line!!!!…DX!!!!!

I think it goes like this:
 
>Discord defeated  
>Sombra defeated  
>NM defeated

I’m pretty sure 1000 years GIVE OR TAKE.
 
Sombra would have been between Discord’s defeat and the genesis of Nightmare Moon.

@MrThumbsup  
its never really mentioned only the princesses started to run Equestria after beating him

@martianmister  
Wasn’t Discord like, 3000 years ago?

What if it was Nightmare Moon?
 
(Celestia) “You want a furlough?”
 
(Nightmare Moon) “I’ll drown you in your furlough–”
 
(Celestia) “Yeah yeah. Listen, you remember the Crystal Heart? Unless you snap back to being Luna for a couple of days there’s not going to be an Equestria for you to rule.”
 
(Nightmare Moon) creates an army of Shadowbolts I can populate my own Equestria.
 
(Celestia) He’s stealing your darkness theme.
 
(Nightmare Moon) …fine. You get her for forty-eight hours.

Well, what are a few years if you are immortal?

Don’t forget Discord.

They said 1000 years to round it. Is like when Cao Cao said he had an army of 1.000.000 but he had like 830.000 or something.

Lies. All lies.

“It was really only 962 years, but 1,000 sounds more ominous.

Yeah, I’d sooner just say “1000 years” than “1003 years”. It’s not like anyone was interested in the exact calendar date.

Could have been all that Dark Magic from last time
 
And over a thousand years could be anywhere from 1001 to 1250.

Those were very confusing times.
