Height: 14.1hh
Ice Sculpture: OctopusLearning to skate? During the winter months the pond in Zephyr's paddock freezes solid. As soon as it does the three children that live in the farmhouse will always bring out their skates and spend their days dancing and sliding on the ice with great enjoyment. He dreams of being able to join in the fun, but he tried to stand on the slippery surface once which resulted in him falling in a heap and straining his knee, which left him hobbling around for weeks. So now he has given up trying, and instead will watch the children all day, sliding around effortlessly as if they were flying. Sometimes the children will strap him in his harness and tie a long rope to it, then he will run along the length of the edge of the pond pulling them behind them on their skates, while they squeal and giggle with joy. He gets great enjoyment out of this, however he still wishes it was possible to skate with the children and be able to fly across the icy surface as if he was flying.
Warm up nourishment: Once Zephyr gets tired after pulling the children around on their skates, they will always take him back to his stable and feed him his favourite treat - warm bran mash with pieces of candy cane mixed throughout. He believes that it is the most incredible taste in the world and he loves the feeling of the hot, sticky substance trickling down his throat and warming him from the inside out. The crunchy peppermint pieces add a great flavour to the already delicious meal, and he loves crunching them between his teeth. He only gets treated to this extra special meal during the cold months, because the children don't want him to get fat off all the candy, though Zephyr doesn't mind because it gives him a great reason to look forward to the cold festive season.
Quip query: Fading multi-colour quipping, similar to
this in different shades of darker grey and perhaps a light cream/palomino? Only minimal quipping - only along his back with a little bit on his cheeks, below his eyes :3
