Celestia would either be Gandalf or more likely Galadriel. If i had to chose, I would have Celestia as Galadriel and Discord as Gandalf. Or you know Starswirl….
But here is how i would do it. Keep the CMC as the hobbits, Aragorn: Shining Armor, Gandalf: Starswirl, Gimili would be one of the pie sisters Maud maybe. Legolas I think would be a good fit for Rarity. And Boromir? Well I think a good pick for that is either Dash or Applejack, someone who can easily let their prides take them, but in the end shows their truest self unto the end.

But Aragorn is also dutiful, kind, strong but most of all humble. Trixie doesn’t fit this at all Starlight I can most certainly see in such a spot but also perhaps a better choice is likely Applejack or even Big Mac, Strong, Dependable, honest, brave and true.

Shining seems a little more like a Boromir to me. Proud, strongly tied to his family and his kingdom. Willing to die for it, even.
Yeah … Shining as Boromir is delicious. That tastes like a fanfic.
Aragorn is … phew … I got nothing. I keep thinking of Scootaloo, but … maybe Spike or Ember since they ‘reclaim their kingdom’?
Wait - I’ve got it. Trixie or Glimmer. Like Aragorn they have enormous growth throughout the show and ‘claim their kingdom’ at the end.
Hmmm … premise runs thin …

I’m imagining the music score that plays in Ralph Bakshi’s version of LotR in this part and it fits so well. Now let’s see here…
Applebloom is Frodo Baggins
Babs is Samwise “Sam” Gamgee
Sweetie Belle is Peregrin “Pippin” Took
Scootaloo is Meriadoc “Merry” Brandybuck
… probably.
Also… I see you, little eye, in the tree.
