Description Ahh, now ram is an interesting one. Simple on the surface, but has anyone considered just how HEAVY those things have to be?

Jager was given his horns at birth, giving his neck muscles time to adapt and grow into the weight. But just plonking them straight onto a horse would deeply offset the pre-built muscle structure. It would be like putting a 20lb hat on your head and then expecting you to keep your neck outstretched. Forever.

Some of the horns I've seen would probably be fine, just an extra five pounds that could pretty quickly be adjusted to, but these massive spirally messes just make me laugh.

Poor Rapture couldn't even lift her head. Thankfully it wore off after a couple minutes.

bahahah XD this made me rethink Mino's potion. I think his horns will grow slowly once he's given the potion, so he can build those yummy neck muscles.

She is such a good lookin girl and dem legs :3 I love how creative you are with her

That seems like a good plan to me C:

Haha, thanks. I think I literally bred her to be a guinea pig without realizing it. I just like drawing weird things with her.
You should see what I'm planning for Fieldflower c:

to constantly be drawing 6 legs has to be a challenge O.o I might have to try doing some fan art of this girly. And in the spirit of things it'll be an experiment

Surprisingly, not as hard as you'd think. The trick is to make the back/stomach "proper length" judging from the BACK pair of front legs. Otherwise it seems way too cramped and the hooves would constantly be hitting each other.

Poooorr Rapture! Glad to know it will wear off soon enough. You make an excellent point though! Foals would have to be given the potions at birth so they could adapt to them properly. I know I used ram on one of my nordies but they're pretty thin looking and small.

I'm not really trying to poke holes in other people's designs, it is a fantasy breed after all The idea here is just to take a realism approach and see what happens.

Oh no I'm not meaning to criticize at all! I'm just saying I totally agree and love your point. I thought about it myself when I designed my guy is what I was saying XD I didn't want to give him massive horns because it would be hard to handle.
