The Zebra civilization was never the richest in Equestria. They made do with what they had and stuck together like one big family. But even with a strong community, the lack of natural resources and food hit the species hard, to the point of near extinction.

Then a special zebra was born with a gift. A gift that she was destined with... a gift that could bring new life to her people.
