This entire litter has kind of a mythical look to them, so I named mine after Aztec gods:

Pet's name: Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror)

Pet's name: Huitzilopochtli (Hummingbird)

Pet's name: Chalchiuhtlicue (Goddess of Water)
[/url]
Pet's name: Tlaloc (God of Rain)

Pet's name: Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent)

Pet's name: Nanauatl (Burnt Skin)

Pet's name: Tonatuih (Sun God)
According to Aztec mythology, Nanauatl threw himself into a fire created by the other gods to prove himself worthy, and became the god of the sun, after which his name was changed to Tonatuih.
(I thought the names really suited them) :D

That is absolutely brilliant!

Yeah, those names fit really well! I wonder if that was what they were based off of?

Soulwings has said the litter is based on textures..... I just named them after Aztec gods because I thought the names suited them really well. All the other gods mentioned also became god of the sun for a time (but their reigns all ended in disaster), and I believe Tonatuih was the last (and only successful) one. It's an interesting story you can read here:

(I interpreted Nanauatl (full of sores) as burnt skin because he jumped in the fire)

This horse makes my head hurt. It's not that I think it's ugly - it's just as pretty a horse as I could want. It just confuses me as a horse nerd. It's white. And it has dapples. Not grey, not white grey, WHITE. This is not physically possible. Unless it's supposed to be dapple grey with a bald face and four stockings...still. It's confusing. Especially when all of the other horses in the litter have fairly minimal markings, whereas this one would have to be practically pinto (or just impossible). My poor head...

It's either Cremmello or Perlino that gives the yellow-ish Dapples on a white horse, I can't remember. Or simply a light Dappled grey.

Or it could just be a horse with fantasy-natural markings.

Cremello - cant see why it's impossible?

My brain settled on it being something like this horse.

Cremello Appaloosa. Or maybe a Perlino Appaloosa, that seems more likely...

In other words, the horse doesn't fit anything perfectly, so I'm writing it off as something close so my head stops hurting. XD

He looks delicious! Like red velvet cake!

Thanks for making it not-quite-so-brain-splitting xD Even with the photo evidence, it's still really weird...
