Search results lead me here, when searching for places to post headcanons. Let's necro this shiz, with x6000 mana at our disposal! Discord's species, 'Draconequus', is not an actual species of animal. It is a made up species to describe what Discord's appearance is. Because Discord has been around since the start of time, ponies thousands of years ago began to coin the term 'Draconequus', which means 'Dragon Horse', to describe the creature terrorizing them with chaos. The term stuck and grew into common knowledge, through legends told about Discord from pony to pony throughout the centuries after his defeat, and is still used in modern day. This is why Cheerliee explained the term to her students.
