I wanted an orange chestnut horse with stripes, and I made a new breed while I was at it...

About the Therinae horse breed :

Origins:

The first horse of the breed discovered was brought in Europe by smuggler and confiscated at the border. The boss of the azurro castle managed to get the horse and after research on their origin, made a trip to Asia where she found other horses of the kind in an abandoned valley bordered by great moutains, jungle florishing on the side. Horses tended to be bigger -draft type- in the center of the valley and lighter in the mountains -mustang-. They didn't have much predators, as their pelt and the sound they make make other animals believe they are predator themselves, even big cats avoid to hunt them.
After months of talking with the country owning the place the boss managed to get the right to import those horses at the castle and rehome them, if she gave a part of their price back to the government.

Appearance:

-Body type: they usually have a light draft body build, but it can happens to have less heavy individual looking more like mustang or more heavy like shire (depends of their habitat, thus the place they are caught). But no poney or arabian or such.

-Base coat : any natural coat colour for horses, however dominant white specimen are rare (and not free to create), greyed out white are common like any other coat.

-Markings: Always have a kind of paint marking, sabino, tobiano, splash, overo, frame called feline this means the gene provoking those traits are mutated, every mutated gene have f behind the gene, and is placed before in the coat name .
Exemple: Ee/Aa/OfOf/ = bay feline overo
The mutation express any kind of wild and big feline marking in the white paint marking. ( from lynx to tiger, leopard, cheetah...) Sometimes the white can take a slightly beige colour closer to the feline coat. The feline marking can have any colour found on real feline (exemple some breed of tiger have golden stripes so you could have golden stripes on white, albino feline marking colour can also be found) Usually a horse has one kind of feline marking but it can happens that they have two (tiger stripes and leopard spots) this may occur when the horse have several feline paint gene -which is not uncommon-. A gene has One type of marking even if the copy of the gene taken by the parents are not the same (see more in the breeding section).
Exemple: aa/ee/OfOf/ SbfSbf can be a chestnut feline cheetah overo feline tiger sabino
Purebreed are always homozygous for at least one feline paint gene (this means feline paint marking always pass to offspring.) Only the presence of the same feline mutated gene in two copies will generate the change seen in therinea (purring, cat pupils...) This explain that they have marking covering at least 50% of their body, only rare specimen are minimaly marked even with the homozygous gene present.
Note: The mutated feline Overo gene is NOT lethal while present in two examplary.

-Eyes: base colour can be any natural colour (no neon colour, but can be pale yellow or golden), they have great sight and feline pupils that dilated in the dark making them able to see when light is low, and you can see them glowing in the night.

-The less paint marking a therinae horse have, the rarest its coat is. Then you can only recognize it by its pupils and the sound it makes. (solid looking -because they still carry the feline paint gene- therinae are not allowed for creation and can only be adopted out for when I'll do an auction)

Characteristic and behavior:

Beside their appearance, Therinae horses have a great sight and heightened sens of smell. The can feel when rain or storm is coming, and not particularly found of water they usually try to find a dry place as a shelter. They have gracious and measured path, as real feline.
They are able to purr when they feel happy and some can even growl when they are not.
They aren't sociable unless being in a family herd, Halfbreed are accepted like any other therinea in family herd as long as they show the same behavior, they often learn to eat meat as well since they are raised like purebreed foal.
The more marked a therinae is, the more respected it becomes to its like, completely marked stallions are believed to be better studs, and mares the best broodmares, and are the ones other of their breed seek the most to perpetuate the blood and legacy.
They are really territorial, males are quick to fight, moreover during females' heat, but females can be picky about there partner and take time before accepting a stud near them.
Stallions have different personnality, some will stay with a mate and help rising the foals, other will only be interested in mare during heat.
Mares are really protectiv of their foal and are the one to bring meat to their foal once weaned -from carcass- , they will most likely stay together for at least a year, if seperated the mare can become really aggressiv. Once she'll find her foal strong enough she'll let it go and the horse will more likely go back to eat grass on its own.
In captivity it is not recommanded to separate mare and foal for more than a few minute during that period. (If you want to breed them you'll have to wait to get the foal, be warned.)

They eat like ordinary horses, thought if plants become rare -like during winter- they can eat some meat. Foals tend to eat more easily meat during their growth to become strong adult faster. For that they have slightly sharpened canines.

Discipline:

Far from being fearful and loving chase, they make great western horse and can be used in hunt-oriented competition, they are also really good in dressage and halter if trained properly.

They hardly stand bit, so prefers side-pull or hackamore bridle. Tackless is always the easiest way to ride a therinea horse.

Breeding:

-Purebreed x Purebreed (both sharing at least one feline paint gene ): 100% Purebreed
-Purebreed x Purebreed (not sharing any mutated feline paint gene) [Ex: a feline overo + a feline tobiano]: 100% Halfbreed -like any reaslitic horse -geneticaly correct- with feline paint marking due to mutated gene inherited, most inherit behavior traits, and can eat meat because they are raised as regular purebred.
-Purebreed x Any other realistic horse : Crossbreed realistic horse -geneticaly correct- with feline paint marking due to mutated gene inherited, sometimes inherit behavior traits if mare who raise the foal is a therinea (but no purring, no feline pupils, no sharpened canine...).
-Purebreed x Any Fantasy : Cross mix of both parents (mandatory a feline paint marking )
-Purebreed x Halfbreed (carrying the same paint marking!): 50% purebreed (all characteristics inherited, pupils heightened sens and such) 50% Halfbreed
-Purebreed x Halfbreed (carrying any other felien mutated paint marking) : 100% Halfbreed
-Purebreed x Crossbreed : 50% Halfbreed 50% Purebreed

Regarding marking, the feline marking inherited in case of crossbreedign have 85% of chance being the purebreed parents kind (tiger stripes, cheetah spots ...)
If purebreed are breed together you have 35% of chance it being the dam's marking 35% the sire, and 30% any other big cat marking.

How to get one:

To own a Therinae horse you must either have bought it from the castle or buy the right to caught a wild one from the gouvernment of mentionned country in Asia. So don't say you just found one in your stable pasture one day.
Or you breed one.

If you have any question please ask, I might have forgotten things.

Breed is currently SEMI CLOSED you can make/catch ONE starter per stable, and only common one -medium to heavy paint marked- You NEED my approval for any starter made, I'll make a list of those individual, those not listed will not be considered Therinea. You CAN breed two therinae to get a pure foal!

All those who proposed a name can make a -rare- starter if they wish =3

Now about that guy up there: (and thank you so much =ReaWolf for the name )

****************
Name: Tangeran
Barn name: Tiger
Sex: Stallion
Age: 6 years
Breed: Therinae Horse
Sire: Unknwon
Dam: Unknown
Bloodline: Starter
Appearance: orange chestnut base, feline tiger sabino tobiano , recessiv for pearl
Genetic: aa/ee/Prln/TfTf/SbfSbf
Height: 172cm
Owner/trainer: Meykka
Temperament: A rather proud stallion, always growling at other stallion passing by and possessiv to any mare he lay his eyes on. He's full of stamina and hardly handable for anyone but the girls who found easily his soft spot and manage to make him purr like an engine. For now he's only ridden for pleasure without saddle and with an hackamore, but we hope to find a rider that would manage to make him give his all and listen more often than when he feels like it and really start training.

Discipline: Halter, will be trained for dressage, cross country and endurance
Competition:
_GES 1 st summer dressage show : bridless and tackless [link] - 1st
_MFS Mini Event: horse agility [link] - 2nd

Breeding: open
Offspring:
-with TFR Eirný : TFR Köttur [link]
-with Gloa (BP: none) : Mandora [link]

Story: First known horse of the new species. ( and other stuff later.)
