Description Yay for Star and Tokala's little boy! Well... all grown up. Anyways, since Star and Tokala were both native american horses to begin with, I figured their son could be one too. His name is Atoish, which I derived from a longer name meaning "alights upon a cloud."

Anyways, Star was bred to Tokala when they still belonged to native americans, and this beautiful appy mustang was produced. Indians love their spotted horses. The Native American sitting on him is Feather's older brother, Ohanko, who's been waiting a long time for his own horse, and finally recieved Atoish when the colt turned five (at which point Star turned 10 and Feather's brother turned 15). Ohanko's name means 'restless'.

Actually spent some time on this. Will put Atoish up for stud to native american horses and pony's or runaway wild mares only.

Oh yeah, and Tokala belongs to =WrathOfNessis

I'm Native American, and we do use bridles like that. I've ridden several horses in ceremonies in nothing more that looped rawhide and rope.

Honestly, it's not like I'd done any research on it. It's what they depicted on the Native American horses in Spirit of the Cimarron. That's not the most reliable source ever, but it was good enough for me.

This is very good! Just a bit of critique, Ohanko's head is a bit squareish. Why do humans have to be so difficult?

Woah!!! That is an amazing paint!! Wow, hes gorgeous. You did an amazing job! My favorite part is the horses neck, and the reflection. I have no idea why I like the neck, probably cuz of the coloring......

Ohanko's head looks a little square, but besides that I can't find anything else. Great job!
