Whip Tail Equines

breed (c) Penultima on chickensmoothie

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.
After being researched now 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 (or escaped) 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.
Another recent development in the whip-tail research is that there are at least 2 subspecies. The known subspecies are Lowland Whip-tails, and Highland Whip-tails. Highlands are the more common variety, with two-pronged horns and lighter feathering on their legs. These species are more prone to living in open grasslands, prairies, plateaus, and young woodlands. The Lowlands are a more recent discovery, with horns that spiral outward and heavier feathering around the hooves. These equines are more reclusive in temperament, and prefer thicker jungles, swamps, and forests. The two subspecies intermingle often, so hybrids also occur, which can sport variations of their leg feathering and horns in combinations.
