Sei Manake Wilds
Build;;
Sei Manake Wilds are built a lot like the Marwari. They have the same curly ears, and the same proud stance. The difference between them, however, is in the way their muscles are built. Marwaris are built for war an precision stepping, while SMW's are made for a motion that we like to call dancing. It's a lot like dressage, but more freeform and appears to work in a very tribal display of colors. Say Manake Wilds are also slightly stockier and lift their legs naturally higher when unburdened. They also have cloven hooves to navigate the rocky terrain where their beads come from. Their tail stalks(the bones I guess?) are longer than average, much like Arabians, and so they appear to lift their tails as they run.
Behavior;;
The first thing to know about SMW's is that they wear strings of beads all over their bodies, given to them as achievements throughout their lives. Each bead is either made of clay or a special gem, according to their herd. The two main herds have a huge rivalry against one another, and anytime they meet they are reminded of that because they are constantly fighting. High-ranking SMW's will face off often, as very proud and very competitive as they are. This also makes them nearly impossible to train, as they always have a deep suspicion for any horse that doesn't belong to their herd, and will confront them or bear down on them to the point of affecting the other horses' health. They refuse to let their beads be removed, and will attack to defend them if necessary. This is not to say you cannot keep one happy, but they are very difficult to care for and often don't live as long in captivity.
When they fight, SMWs begin with a very tribal-looking dance, purposely shaking their beads and clacking them together to make as much noise as possible. This looks a lot like a dressage performance as they get louder and louder, pumping up onlookers and telling them to stay back. Often a horse's relatives will stamp their hooves in encouragement to the fighter, but it is considered rude for those outside the family.
SMW's have formed two major herds, and a herd of outcasts.
Gahana Jund - This herd proudly sports beads made of precious gems, increasing in rarity and type for each achievement and milestone, and the sequence and size of the gems also tells an onlooker what they did to achieve his honor. It's up to the bloodline to determine this, though, so each group can be vastly different or even pretty much the same. A beadmare/stallion keeps and makes all the beads, and in this herd will often have assistants. These SMWs are almost as heavily decorated as the leaders.
When a foal is born, it is presented with it's first jewel, Quartz. It's usually either clear or cloudy clear, as colors are reserved for families of higher rank or the next beadmare/stallion. The leader of the herd presents the jewel just after the foal stands up, the foal is named, and the rest of the herd taps their beads softly to indicate acceptance.
Fung Sotw Jok - Clay or pebble beads are engraved by the solitary beadstallion/mare, who then presents them individually to each who needs to be bestowed. The complexity of design and mineral content of the beads indicates the same thing as the rarity and color of the jewels bestowed in Gahana Jund. The first bead given is always a plain bead of clay, and is given to the foal in the same manner as the other herd as well, though the acceptance ceremony is done by a special dance is done by the leader and the beadmare/stallion is the one who presents the bead. This herd is much louder when a foal is born, and often will have a celebration similar to a party. These SMWs focus on beat in their dances more than the Gahana Jund, and this ofen makes their dances sound prettier.
Outcasts
These are given no beads, though they are decorated with many strings. Those born outcasts ill sometimes have two beads - one from each parent, but being sent to the outcast herd is usually grounds for beads to be taken.
