Backstory:
Sarāb, or better known as Mirage, is nothing short of extraordinary. This stallion has earned himself a reputation during his life at the mercy of the Oasis Island.
Ever elusive and mighty, researchers lucky enough to spot this desert treasure say his coat shimmers so bold and bright, from a distance its as if he blurred into the sand - thus earning his title "Mirage".

During the years of the Oasis Island rescue expeditions, Mirage was one of the last Barbs to be transported - his herds numbers dwindled, and the stallion was thought to be passed. This was until scouts had rumoured a golden horse roaming nearby a corralled group of Barb, bringing hopeful news to those familiar with Mirage.

Giving the expedition workers a run for their money, Mirage was eventually "coaxed" into the holding pens - the catchers packed up for the night and returned in the morning to find Mirage had somehow put himself inside the corrals at his own accord; assumed to have jumped the high-standing fence line to reunite with his herd.

Tale of this stallion spread to sponsors: a striking and strong-willed stallion, with jumping capability beyond this world. Owners of Horsegirl Haven were in awe of this horse, keeping a close eye on his progress and awaiting the day he'd be cleared for adoption.


They say if you were so fortunate to get up close and personal, you can see the colours of the Oasis desert in his eyes. This Barb is an embodiment of the Oasis Islands unforgiving desert - resilient, stubborn, and breathtakingly beautiful.
