Description
Remember this?[link]
Here's the breedsheet for the species. xD Yay....
Notes:
*"low minimal" and "high minimal" refer to the extent of the secondary color. When a moofp simply has stockings and head markings, they are referred to as "minimal." Low, middling, and high are used to describe the extent of these markings.
One eye. Mixes will always have an eye-shaped blaze, and may display fangs.
Moofp may have any marking that occurs in horses. Paint markings seem to originate from the belly and radiate toward the spine.
Moofp will not wear shoes. If you somehow manage to get them on the moofp, said moofp will lay down and will not get up for anything; eventually usually within a few days, the moofp's body will somehow get rid of the nails of the shoe. How this happens is unknown, though it is suggested that their hooves consist of two types of material: outer shell and inner core. The core will grow until it reaches shell or core, thus forcing the nail out. The outer shell is like a normal horse's hoof: nerveless and tough.
Moofp will not tolerate bits. Bitless bridles are your only hope, with something to keep the noseband from slipping near their eye.
If you couldn't tell yet, Moofp are stubborn and unwilling to accept things they dislike. They respond well to positive reinforcement, and are more likely to be backwards if trained with punishment. If a Moofp is being abused, it will do its damnedest to escape or attack those harming it.
It is best to train Moofp in a discipline they show a liking for. Most trainers will test Moofp in a variety of ways before accepting them for any discipline.
Moofp are also loyal and territorial. Though they do not mind sharing a paddock with horses (or, of course, cows), they will defend their farm (yes, not just the paddock, the farm) and their friends (horses, dogs, COWS, cats, people, emus, llamas, etc) from anything they consider a threat.
Moofp do NOT have forelocks. The thickest mane may start in front of the ears, but it will not be long enough to touch the eye if pulled toward it.
Moofp like cows. Why is unknown, but it is known that they preform best and are healthiest when housed with a herd of cows. The cows tend to have nicer coats and stronger calves. Bulls seem less aggressive when a familiar moofp is present. The moofp will also defend the herd with their life, though normally a bite and a kick or two will dissuade even the most persistent of threats.
This does not prevent them from working with cattle; the truths above only apply to cattle they know. At a rodeo, neither the moofp nor the cow/bull will be affected by this bond.
Moofp can come in any shade of color, though they tend to be either bright or greyscale. Greyscale moofp may have streaked a mane/tail; other colors will not. The secondary color varies on the base color; metallic base colors (named after metals/hematite) are actually metallic, shiny, take your pick of the word. Here is a list of base to secondary colors:
Red:
-charcoal
-gold
-crimson
-dark orange
-dark yellow

BREEDING MOOFP
Color:
Color is dependent on two things: hue and intensity.
-hue: "color," like red blue green etc
When breeding two moofp, the foal will be somewhere in between the two colors. Example: A red bred to a green would not result in a fugly brown, but instead in anything from red to orange to yellow to green. Color is weighted on the side of the mare; that is, the foal is often more like the mare in terms of color.
-intensity: how light/dark and grey the color is. A light greyish-purple moofp bred to a dark, rich purple moofp would result in anything from a slightly darker and richer purple (compared to the former) to a slightly lighter and greyer purple (compared to the latter). Such a breeding would not result in a moofp with the exact intensity as either of the parents. In closer breedings (eg, a light purple to a lighter purple), the intensity may seem identical to one of the parents. Intensity is weighted on the side of the stallion; that is, the foal is often more like the stallion in terms of intensity.
-Monochromatics
A note on breeding monochromatic moofp.
With other monochromatics:
Cloud x Cloud = 95% cloud, 5% light grey
Cloud x Grey = 25% cloud, 50% light grey, 25% medium grey
Cloud x Charcoal = 10% cloud, 80% grey (any), 10% charcoal
Charcoal x Charcoal = 95% charcoal, 5% dark grey
Charcoal x Grey = 25% charcoal, 50% dark grey, 25% medium grey
Grey x Grey = 95% grey, 2.5% cloud, 2.5% charcoal
Depending on the shade of grey, these percentages may be weighted. A dark grey bred to a charcoal has a better chance of being charcoal; a light grey bred to a charcoal has a better chance of being grey.
With colored moofp:
A charcoal bred to a colored moofp will darken and intensify the color, and may result in a charcoal.
A cloud bred to a colored moofp will lighten and dull the color, and may result in a cloud.
A grey bred to a colored moofp will grey out the color and may result in a grey.
Color rarity:
80% color, 20% monochromatic
Of the colors:
Red = 15%
Orange* = 25%
Yellow = 10%
Green = 15%
Blue = 15%
Purple = 20%
High intensity = 40%
Middling intensity = 50%
Low intensity = 10%
Light hue = 40%
Average hue = 45%
Dark hue = 15%
*Oranges are an odd type; for them, the intensity and hue count is:
High intensity = 20%
Middling intensity = 40%
Low intensity = 40%
Light hue = 30%
Average hue = 35%
Dark hue = 35%
Middling and low intensity are often considered "naturals." Middling intensity are rich natural colors, like coppery chestnuts and blood bays, while low intensity are less bright, such as liver chestnuts and palominos.
Light hue, middle/low intensity oranges are often like buckskins and palominos, and may even look like smokey cream, cremello, or perlino horses, and in rare cases, like pearls (but only in builds that imitate a breed that does have pearl horses).
Middle hue, m/l intensity oranges often imitate lighter bays and chestnuts.
Dark hue, m/l intensity oranges often look like dark bays or even sunbleached blacks.
BREEDING TO NORMAL HORSES:
Horse x Moofp = Horfp
Horfp always have a blaze that is shaped about like a Moofp's eye. The color of this marking is usually that of the Moofp parent's eye. Horfp may show long "wolf teeth," though normally this is restricted to stallions. These crossbreds also inherit the Moofp's loathing of bits and shoes and love of cows.
Moofp will pass on an immunity to Lethal White Overo. Any horse descended from a Moofp will not have and will not produce a LWO foal.
When bred with a natural colored horse, the resulting Horfp often has a natural coat with the same markings the Moofp parent had, of either of the Moofp's colors.
e.g., a bay horse is bred to a purple brindle like the one in the image. The horfp offspring will be anything you can breed from a bay (black, bay, chestnut, buckskin) with either silver or purple brindle and a purple blaze that looks like a Moofp's eye.
Moofp are genetic wild cards when bred to normal horses; though the horse half will have some influence, the other half of the genetics could be anything. A palimino bred to a moofp could result in a bay, chestnut, buckskin, palimino, perlino or cremello, with or without dun (most likely when bred from a moofp with dun-like markings), with or without champagne (most likely when bred from a moofp with light, low-intensity hues), with or without grey (horfp with charcoal, cloud, or grey moofp parents are most likely to grey out), with or without roan (most likely with a moofp parent with darker secondary than base). Whew, that was a lot of options, huh? You never know what you'll get with a horfp. ;3
When bred to a fantasy horse, a horse with any unnatural color, the resulting color works the same way as moofp x moofp breedings do.
If bred to a....
Unicorn: horn will be the same color as Horfp's blaze.
Pegasus: wing feathers will have tips that are the secondary color of the moofp parent.
Otherwordly/demon/nightmare: horfp MUST have a cow herd to take care of to be manageable, and will probably like at least one cow to go to shows with it.
Popular HARPG user-created breeds (note me if you created this breed and wish the horfp traits to be changed, or if you created a breed and would like to see what traits would be inherited):
Harlequine: Horfp will have either main or secondary color in addition to harlequine colors.
Neonar: Horfp will have neonar markings in the color of the moofp parent. Base color comes from the neonar.
Toxics: Similar to Harlequines, the horfp will keep the black/white/green color scheme, but will inherit markings/color of the moofp parent.
Horfp bred to normal horses:
Horfp x Horses result in what could be considered full-blood horses, as breeding one of these back to a moofp will get you a horfp. However, these horses will typically have diamond blazes, with or without a vertical slit, and tend to dislike greatly the bit and shoe.
Horfp bred to moofp:
Full-blooded moofp. Color is typically reminiscent of the horfp's marking; that is, if we take the brindle horfp from above, depending on its brindle color, its moofp offspring will be either grey (closest to silver) or purple, depending on the horfp's marking color. It will probably have brindle or another stripey marking.
Feather:
Feather is cumulative. Breeding a light feathered moofp to a heavy feathered moofp would result in a middling feathered moofp. Breeding a heavy feathered moofp to another heavy feathered moofp may result in heavier feather than either parent. Breeding a light feathered moofp to a light feathered moofp may result in less feather than either parent; however, there will never be a moofp without at least an inch of feather on the front of the hoof and at least the same on the back.
Moofp feather tends toward fine and silky versus coarse and crimped.
DISCIPLINES:
Moofp excel in most any sport. They do show favor to sports in which speed, agility, or intelligence is needed. The sport depends mostly upon the build; while a light moofp may race with Thoroughbreds, a draft moofp will have no chance. Use a knowledge of a sport's average build to determine how successful your moofp may be in that field.
I may add more notes.
I plan to add these to the HARPG stables.

My I add your breed to my demon horse directory?
Once accepted, your breed get it's own folder and refs will be accepted in the group.
the group also holds a point system to selected the best horses from the best.
I hope to add your breed to the group

Wow so much information, although this didn't stop me from reading it all
This is very beautiful suck creativity, also it was very well described, If you dont mind some time (if I get around to it) could I have a go at drawing one of these creatures?
Good work

Thank you! I'm glad it was interesting enough to read all of it. xD
Of course you could draw one sometime. :3 You could make your own character if you'd like; I'm not going to prevent anyone from using these critters, as long as they don't claim that they own/created the Moofp species and as long as they don't sell them. ;3

Yeah well I know a few people who wouldn't read as much information as this, and I am sure not a lot of people bother to read this? Well not manny people seem to reasd my deviant description comments (I know this because they ask me questions and if they read the description they would find the answeres XD)
OKay thanks. No I wouldn't steal, claim or sell these, if I do get around to drawing one i'll be sure to give you a link and give you credit to the creature design
I've made kind of a creature up as well, although my seems stupid XDD It was actually for a contest
Want to see? ( [link] )

Waha, that's a cool creature. :3 These critters came around when I was drawing a horse with a diamond-shaped blaze, and my friend thought it was an eye. x3 Things went from there...lol.
