Old Nordic Draft #004

Old Nordic Drafts wrote:Once on the verge of extinction, the jäykkä were brought from their native frigid nordic home to that of warmer climates in efforts to help save a dying breed. They were best known for being the companion of old nordic vikings and were once thought to be a gift bestowed to the vikings from their gods. They are rigid and strong, ever lasting through all types of terrains and adapting to the needs of the people they lived along side of. In the beginning they were mostly only used as barn companions or farm help, but in better efforts to save the species and promote diversity they hand selected a few lipizzaner stallions and mares to add some better genetic diversity as well as hoped it would help the jäykkä feel more at home in their new environment. Today they are an all around versatile breed of horse, being able to pull cart and any heavy lifting due to their heritage but with the grace and agility introduced to them from the lipizzaners.

Owner: Amymay99
Battle Name: Ensam är stark
Barn Name: Stark
Gender: Stallion
Age: 4
Height: 18 hh
Halter color: Rune colour
Halter floof colour: Adopt me sign colour
How you met them:

I was lost, cold and left behind. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. I just knew I had to keep walking.

There were a lot of known herds of Nordic drafts in this area and yet Stark was not with a herd when I met him, he was alone but he wasn't afraid. Unlike me. I had no idea what to do, I mean would you? He sure did though...

He was strong, he had that air about him. An unwavering gaze and the kind of firm stance that even a earthquake would fail to topple.

I stare at the horse and he stares at me and in that comforting silence I feel at peace, I don't feel afraid and I can't feel the cold winds and I don't feel lost, instead I feel safe. Like this lonesome horse was to somehow become my saviour.

It was then I decided on a name, a name that meant "Alone Is Strong" or in other words "You can accomplish a lot on your own". This name however was ironic for me as I could have only accomplished what I did with his help. I only made it to a safe hold because of this horse.

He could navigate the strange lands that I was lost within and lead me somewhere I could get help.

The strange thing was I expected him to leave me once I had found a village but instead he stayed, he allowed me to place a halter on him and eventually allowed me to ride him.

His eyes may have been cold but they harboured kindness deep within and I respected that. I still do.
