This week I was introduced to A Tale of Two Horses for the first time, and of course I had to try making designs for the horses!
Breed: Who knows. Mule ancestry?
Coat: Blue Roan/Dapple Grey
I tried to research what horse breeds were used in battle (a ton were listed for carrying artillery) and turns out the Friesian Horses were used to carry knights in battle, because they were incredibly agile despite their size (and their strength helped with carrying heavy armor) And considering that today Friesians are viewed as one of (if not the) prettiest horse breeds, I figured it was perfect for Rainbow Basher! Also I made the blaze on her head resemble a shooting star, she originally belonged to Mabel after all.
For “The Horse” I aimed to make it much more ambiguous, like it had been bought from some farmer for its low price. I like to think it has some sort of mule ancestry, because mules are cool and it has the attitude for it. It’s on the smaller side, and the emaciation doesn’t help. Since the Car is blue, I gave the Horse a coat kind of like a Blue Roan’s, but at one point I accidentally inverted it and liked the Dappled Grey look I ended up with. It also has a white face bc it’s olddddd.
