Description
My OC Kaeden's destrier, Gareth. To eventually be included in her character bio/reference sheet.Name: Gareth
Meaning: "Gentleness"
Gender: Stallion
Age: 14
Breed: Destrier
Height: 16.1hh
Colour: Blood bay, light dappling
Mane: Black, roached
Tail: Black, medium length and thinned, tied up in battle
Body type: While bulky and powerful, his musculature is understated, giving him a more rounded appearance. A thick neck, unrefined muzzle and prominent roman nose give him a rough cut appearance. His body hair is always well groomed and short, despite the season.
Temper: Age, experience and years of loving pampering have cooled the destrier's fiery temper. His youthful aggression that his breed was selected for only flares in battle. Difficult to faze, he'll often calmly meander around a chaotic and dangerous skirmish while waiting for his rider to finish her business.
Tack: Having retired from the battlefield, Gareth now only wears the barding of a light infantry horse with a small leather and brass breastplate and croup rig. He still wears the colours of Kaeden's family, but patches have been sewn in to cover the crests.
History: Kaeden's personal mount since she left her family estate ten years ago, having been stolen in the departure.

That's a wonderful drawing, Nylak. You draw horse anatomy very well. As I went through your gallery I found that you also own a horse. I think you've already mentioned it before, but what breed is it? I own a Thoroughbred/Appaloosa mare cross myself.

I bet that's an interesting combination! ^^ I personally just own a quarter horse, but I love the breed for its versatility. Since I show in hunter and work in western, I need the flexibility. XD

Oh it is! The appaloosa in her gives her that nice speckled roan coat, while she's built like a thoroughbred. Although...considering she has TB blood in her makes her crazy and highly breakable. *Sigh*
My friend owns a quarter horse; those things are built like freaking tanks! LOL I used to show in hunter myself, but had to quit and stick to the trails now.
Aha! Sorry for the random blabble.
