The Saxon Horse of Kings
The Saxon Horse of Kings is an extraordinary breed of horses that evolved from the
finest of individuals and breeds. They ONLY come in realistic colours. There are no
paints or dappled horses. Their coat is always a solid colour. Only minimal sabino is
accaptable. Light coats are a lot more common than dark coats. Roans are fairly rare.
The mane of the SHoK is often curley or wavey. It’s thick, long and often warn in all
kinds of hairstyles matching the individual horse’s historic periode. Eyes come in
all colours. Facial and leg markings are common.

The SHoK needs to wear Accessoires! Without it’s ‘clothes’ the horse will feel naked
and incomplete. Most SHoKs have quite a variety of different ‘clothes’ to wear. They
however ALWAYS stay true to ONE historic periode! There is no mixing periods.
Neither in the different ‘clothes’ nor the set of ‘clothes’ themselves. They don’t have to
be 100% historically correct, but a baroque SHoK would never wear a top hat, for example.
The time periods in which the ‘clothes’ of the SHoKs range are between medieval times
and victorian times. Roughtly set between the 13th and the 19th century. (The absolute border for how modern a SHoK's accessoires can look is 1945. Nothing more modern than that!)
The ‘clothes’ have to be based on an existing periode, no LotR based ShoK or alike.
A SHoK will also never wear modern accessoirs like googles, ties, ect.

Generally the SHoKs enjoy staying near to humans. Mostly to use them as some sort of
servents to manage their ‘clothes’ and hair as well as dress and undress them. If they
allow a human to ride them, it’s mostly just one single person and that the person’s
whole lifetime. Their diciplines are dressage, haute ecole and occassionally military
riding. Even if they allow a human on their back, they still demand a dialog when
being ridden and no human thinking he directs just an animal around. They want
to be respected as equals and also treated that way.

Their peronalities have a wide range, but are usually of a very noble touch. That going
into all directions. From posh playboy over eerie lady to damsel in distress and brave
knight. They often have a somewhat funny sexuality.

Stallion usually stand between 170cm to 180cm
Mares stand between 165cm and 170cm
