Horses of Hyrule: Sheikah Saddlebreed

Published:
1.9K Views

Description

A rare breed kept alive by Hylians but developed by Sheikahs, they descend from the now extinct Sekiah Warhorse.

Other Names: Sheikah horse, Sheikah Warmblood, "Spiderhair"
Character: Quiet and inteligent, stallions may be agressive when threatened and prefer to fight rather than to run, even so, they're not uncontrolable and are gentle enough to be ridden by ladies.

Head roman-nosed, with short pointy ears and light coloured eyes that range from white-ish silver to aquamarine.
Build Medium, with thick shoulders and long legs.
Their mane, tail and feathers have a peculiar, whispy softness, often compared to spider silk, that gave them the nickname "Spiderhair"
Their tail is often docked becouse it grows very long, long enough to touch the floor, it becomes tangled and catches filth if not cared for properly.

Height: Stallions 16 - 18 hands high, mares 16 - 17.
Coat Colors: Any shade of silver dapple, all four legs must be white.

Ancestry: Sheikah warhorse and unknown Zora bloodlines, they where bred by Sheikahs and many where given as gifts to the people of Kakariko Village and the Royal Family.
History Only a few remain in Hyrule Castle and Kakariko Village, they're a rare breed that used to be very popular with Hylian ladies before the Sheikah left.
They where coveted by the Gerudo for their extraordinary jumping abilities, but only a few survived the harsh enviroment of the desert.
Use: Jumping competitions, as fancy saddle horses or for circus performances.

Gossip Stone: These horses are rumored to be able to see things normal people (or horses) can't.

Otros Nombres: Caballo Sheikah, Sangre Tibia Sheikah, "Telaraña"

Caracter: Callados y inteligentes, los garañones pueden ser agresivos si se les amenaza y prefieren pelear a correr, pero no son incontrolables, pueden ser manejados por mujeres con facilidad.
Cabeza de perfil romano, con orejas cortas y puntiagudas y ojos de color claro, pueden ir desde un plateado blanquecino hasta un azul acuamarina.
Conformación Media, con hombros anchos y patas largas, La crin, cola y el pelo en sus patas tiene una textura suave muy peculiar, a menudo comparada con tela de araña, de ahi viene su apodo de "Telaraña"
Es comun que se les corte la cola, por que crece demasiado larga y se arrastra por el piso, se enreda y se ensucia si no es cuida de manera correcta.

Altura: Garañones 16 - 18 palmos, yeguas 16 - 17
Colores: Cualquier tono de plateado.
Las cuatro patas deben ser blancas.

Sangre: Caballo de Guerra Sheikah y sangre de lineas Zora desconocidas, fueron criados por los Sheikah y muchos fueron regalos para la gente de Kakariko y para la familia real.
Historia: Quedan muy pocos en el Castillo de Hyrule y en Kakariko, era una raza muy popular con las damas Hylian antes de que se fueran los Sheikah.
Eran codiciados por las Gerudo por su habilidad extraordinaria para saltar pero muy pocos sobrevivieron las condiciones severas del desierto.
Uso: Competencias de salto, como caballos de silla elegantes o para espectaculos de circo.

Piedra Chismosa: Se dice que pueden ver cosas que las personas (o caballos) normales no pueden

The short tail and feathers are awesome. Also I like this one's Gossip Stone. Man, I don't know which of these horses I would like to have the best, but this one is definitely a contender. Amazing job on the patterning on this one as well!
