Guys/girls ages 15 and up to 23 is the 'standard' though their are older/younger people who also watch it.
I know it's hard to believe, but the show changed with FiM (Generation 4). It isn't all butterflies and rainbows like it used to be. It got more gender neutral, got rid of the extreme girly aspect, and re-did practically everything else. In my honest opinion, it shouldn't be called "My Little Pony" anymore. It's just so different from that 'crappy girly adfest for toys' that existed before it.
The new creator 'Lauren Faust' intended to give the show a new beginning; and she did just that! She is a well-respected director of cartoon shows (you probably saw her works when you were a teen, that's how far it goes back). The show tends to deal with more mature topics and has some adult humor thrown in (which also sparked the interest). The characters are actually interesting and likeable, the animation is much better, and the fandom is the friendliest fandom I've ever seen.
I could go on and on about what makes the fandom and show such a modern phenomena, but it would take several pages to cover it all. I hope this answers your questions (this is perspective from one who also watches the show) along side the other millions of people who do).
i hear ya, she was also behind the powerpuff girls(Along with craig mc craken), and that was among one my favorite shows as a kid(second to ed edd n eddy), and i still watch re-runs of that now. And that show had a following among older kids and adults as well. Its funny and well made, i can see now why its popular
