Both Supernatural and MLP are... both of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi genre where magic mixes with a form of realism and science. A series of creatures have appeared on SN that have also appeared on MLP (Dragons, Hellhounds, Phoenix, even one Unicorn).

The way I saw it at the time was that they both aimed at different audiences, SN was aimed at ages 16-25 while MLP was aimed at little girls.

Also, both shows have mixed their aiming a bit. While MLP aimed at little girls, it got Bronies; when Supernatural was released, it gained a mostly "female" fanbase that expressed themselves through Flash-Fics (Oh dear Chuck).
