Whip-Tailed Equines

Breed Page [Inactive]

Whip-Tail equines were discovered relatively recently, most herds living deep in the remote forests and jungles of central Asia. They appear to be a relative of the common horse, similar to the zebra or donkey. They are small to medium sized in comparison to common horses, ranging between 12hh to 16hh. After being researched for a decade since their discovery, Whip-Tails are now being exported all over the globe due to their exponentially rising population numbers. These equines can now be found in most countries; some in zoos, some small herds introduced into forests, and some tamer ones kept as pets. New reports have found that a very select few equines have even been tamed enough to ride. Stallions usually have more colourful coats which they use to attract mates, ranging from spots to stripes to patches, often many at the same time. Their eyes can appear any colour besides red or pink and are often two-toned. They have also developed thick feathering down the back of their legs to protect themselves from prickly plants, although it also serves the winter use for warmth. Their tails have grown to be very long, and it has been speculated that it possibly helps them balance in their dense woodland habitat. Finally, the stallions have also developed horns used to compete with other males for dominance as well as for protection from their main predators; tigers, leopards, and occasionally wolves.
