Nile River Equids (NREs) are a sub-breed of Mustangs who were discovered to be living in African deserts, a majority near the Nile River, where their descendants are speculated to be from Spain. The people who discovered these horses found that they were extraordinarily friendly and the human tradition of braided tails is a sign that the NRE is domesticated or belongs to someone.
Though the braids symbolize their domestic status with humans, the ribbons are connected to their handler. The person who obtains the ribbon from the horse's tail has almost complete control over the horse, though they have loyalty to the ribbon holder, they still enjoy other human interactions and companionship. It is known for one person to control a whole herd of NREs with just one ribbon colour, but it is more common for someone to wear multiple ribbons around their necks, in their hair, or like a belt. Ribbons can come in any colour or pattern.
