[Official] [ENDS 3/31] Cavaletti Breed Creation Challenge

Breed Name: Celestial

Description: "What could be better than owning your own part of the stars?" The Celestial horse is a reclusive and shy breed, only recently discovered. They only come in a base of black, with vibrant colored patterns that resemble galaxys in varying expression, from a solid black horse, to a horse who's whole body is vibrant blues, greens, and purples. The one constant with this breed is bright blue and purple eyes, even in low to no expression individuals. This breed seemingly has the ability to come in all white patterns, which show above their galaxy like patterns.

History: The Celestial horse was discovered relatively recently, the founder of the breed has yet to be determined, but one thing is true; As of now, these horses are extremely rare with only a handful of individuals found. The two first horses found, a stallion and a mare. The mare was named Astrum, which is Latin for Glory or Heaven, and the stud named Sidereus, which is Latin for Divine or Heavenly.

Other Information: Males have a vary Baroque build, whereas females tend to be more lean and sport built. The coats of these horses are iridescent, even in non-expressive individuals. These horses take a long time to trust people, but once you have their trust they are loyal and reliable.

Breed Name: Sihrabi

Many claim to have seen these horses but until now no one had proof of their existence. As a young boy Adil had been told the story of the demon stallion Adhem at least 100 times. He never tired of hearing it. His grandfather insisted that their family lines traced back to the Magi Hatim and Adil was sure it must be true. As he got older after his grandfather passed Adil kept the stories close to his heart, his favorite being the story of the demon stallion. Adil's belief in what his grandfather said about their bloodline led him to spend the next 20 years of his life researching his family bloodlines trying to find that connection, and he did find it. One day in a dusty library in Cairo he found the proof that his family was indeed descended from the Magi Hatim. He thought that if Hatim was real then perhaps the legend was true and so he set out to find the Sihrabi.

Adil spent months visiting every filthy dive bar in Egypt where adventurers frequented. Talking to anyone who would listen about the demon stallion and his herd. As he was leaving a particularly dirty bar on the edge of a vast desert he overheard a man telling someone that he had seen the demon stallion just a week before. The man was clearly drunk, and probably lying, but it was the first mention Adil had heard of the horses in the months he had been searching. He offered the man money to take him to the place where he had seen the stallion, it took a lot of money but finally the man agreed.

They set out the next day and traveled for more than a week deep into the desert. At times the desert seemed to close in on them and Adil began to wonder if he had doomed himself by following a madman into the desert. On their 8th night in the desert they had become lost. They had no idea how to get back to the town on the edge of the desert. As Adil sat in their camp contemplating their almost certain fate something in the air changed. A strange silence fell over the ruins where they had camped. Adil ducked behind one of the fallen pillars just as something stepped out of the shadows. It was a horse, black as night with eyes that burned like fire. Firey runes glowed on the neck of this black horse and it's mane was tipped with red fire. Adil stared in awe at what was surely the legendary demon stallion Adhem. Adil's breath caught in his chest as he gazed upon this magnificent beast and the herd of preternaturally beautiful horses that followed behind him. Some were clearly Arabian while others had the same marks on their necks and the same fire color tipped their manes and tails. He was awestruck.

Without thinking Adil stood and walked toward the demon stallion, something in his heart told him he was not in danger from this horse. He laid his hand on the stallion, it seemed to almost vibrate with some dark power. The stallion turned and walked toward his herd and Adil followed. 3 horses walked toward Adhem from the herd, seemingly beckoned forth by the stallion. Adil had found them, he had found the Sihrabi and it seemed as though the demon stallion was offering these 3 to him. One was particulary striking, a golden colored mare with runes of blue fire on her neck and ice blue eyes. Her mane and tail were tipped with blue fire. The drunk from the bar had been drinking in his tent and when he heard the sounds outside he stepped out to see what was going on. The sight of the demon stallion standing just feet away sent him fleeing into the desert.

Adil approached the beautiful golden mare and stroked her soft fur. She nuzzled his hand. The stallion Adhem snorted and followed by his herd disappeared into the night leaving Adil standing there with the 3 Sihrabi that had stepped forward. The other 2 were just as beautiful as the golden mare. A fiery chestnut mare and a black stallion, a spitting image of the demon stallion himself. Unlike Adhem however these horses manes and tails were not actual fire but just the color of fire. The rune marks on their necks glowed faintly not brightly like the demon stallion. In appearance they were very much like the Arabians they had descended from though slightly larger than an average arabian they had the same refined conformation with large eyes and a tiny muzzle. They were breathtaking. The golden mare led Adil out of the desert and back to civilization while the other 2 Sihrabi followed. The madman who had brought him to the spot was lost forever in the desert. Adil returned home to his stable with the 3 Sihrabi and breeding them became his lifes work.

He had the horses genetically tested and found them to be genetically identical to Arabians with one exception. They seemed to have a second set of DNA that was unknown. Adil believed it to be demon DNA from the demon stallion Adhem. Upon color testing it was also found that the golden mare did not carry any cream genes instead her demon dna seemed to have mutated and was different than the other Sihrabi. No one could explain it but it seemed to be extremely rare as she was the only one of that color that he had seen in the large herd.

There are currently less than 100 Sihrabi in captivity though it is unknown how many roam the desert in wild herds. No one has ever been able to locate the demon stallion and his herd again and if not for the Sihrabi brought to civilization by Adil they would remain nothing more than a legend.

Sihrabi must be genetically tested and confirmed Arabian with the additional demon DNA in order to be accepted as Sihrabi. Breeding a Sihrabi to a purebred Arabian results in a Sihrabi foal 50% of the time. The demon DNA does not always pass to the foal. All Sihrabi have the rune marks which have been found to always be red except in the case of the rare golden mutation. These golden horses always have blue rune markings. Sihrabi always have the mane and tailes tipped with the color of fire. Always red except in the case of the golden mutation which is always blue. They exist in Bay, Black, Chestnut, Grey and the extremely rare golden mutation. White markings are possible. The Sihrabi do not seem to posses any supernatural abilities however they are extremely fast and have great stamina. They also seem to live much longer than other breeds.
