The Lunar Frost Horse is a rare, cold-adapted equine breed known for its resilience in harsh climates and its striking coat pattern known as “moon spotting.” Bred in the northern highlands where snow blankets the land for much of the year, the Lunar Frost Horse is prized for its stamina, intelligence, and hardy constitution.
A tall-sized desert-type horse, they typically stand between 16 and 18 hands and have a tall, slim build. Through centuries of breeding and adaption, this breed's body is excellent at fluctuating its body temperature to adjust to the cold. Despite their rather short coats, they seem to have a tolerance for extremely low temperatures due to their waterproof coat oils. Their coat is unique, and display a gorgeous sheen due to the reflective properties of their coat oils. Their heavily feathered fetlocks and dense manes and tails shield it from icy winds and snowdrifts. Their hooves are wide and naturally concave, providing excellent traction on slippery terrain.
The breed’s most distinctive feature is its coat, a genetic phenomenon that experts cannot explain. The base coat is adorned with irregular, circular markings called moon spots. Moon spots seem to be a mysterious "second" genetic layout on top of the base coat. These markings are thought to be genetically similar to those found in certain goat breeds, giving the horse an otherworldly, mottled appearance. No two Mooncrest horses share the same pattern,
Temperamentally, the Mooncrest is calm, intelligent, and sure-footed, making it an excellent partner for long-distance travel in rugged conditions. Historically used by highland herders, mountain patrols, and later sled pulling, it is capable of traversing snow-covered passes where vehicles cannot go. The breed is also gaining recognition in modern endurance and skijoring sports.
Still relatively rare outside its native region, the Mooncrest Horse is the subject of preservation efforts focused on maintaining its unique markings and cold-climate adaptations. With its mystical appearance and dependable nature, it remains a symbol of endurance and quiet beauty in the high mountains.
Mares can have 5 breeding slots and are rarer than stallions, which can have unlimited breeding spots.
