Previously known as Koba Horses, these powerful animals have undergone some much-needed changes! Omina Draught Horses are the only species to have cloven hooves and antlers, this is due to their home environment. They are commonly found in the harsh mountain regions of Europ and Scottland. They're powerful muscles and calm characteristics are what caused people to domesticate them and keep them as working animals. They're sure footed for farm work and for driving, making them popular among people who drive and show competitively. They have no set colour pattern to the breed and can be found in any colour and pattern known to horses. Only Stallions and Geldings have the impressive antlers which are so heavily desired in the breed, these are used the same way male deer would use theirs, to fight off threats to their herds or to fight rival males. A typical herd is made up of an alpha pair, two to three young males and up to twelve females, only the alpha male can breed with the mares, but really, it's the alpha mare who runs her herd. Foals are reared by the whole herd, it's a family effort to make sure the next generation survives the bitter winters and scorching summers. This family dynamic between herd members makes them fantastic companions for other horses and people alike.
Best suited to driving and farm work, these equine also fare well in handling and even dressage and jumping. They should all have long manes and tails which are of even length from the floor when measured. They should have thick, long feathers, but the hooves should still be visible. Well rounded bodies with a healthy balance of muscle and fat and small chests compliment their strong look, but also make them look as gentle as they behave. They have a naturally calm temperament, very intelligent and keen to learn. This breed has been known to excel in whatever task it is set. They do have some behavior traits that owners need to keep on top of. They can be stubborn if asked to do something they don't like doing. Small spaces can often frighten them, making them difficult to load into a horsebox or to have in a stable. Mares can brood even when not in season, they are more prone to biting, kicking and bucking than stallions and geldings. Males tend to have a more mischevious streak to them, learning how to quickly open gates, doors, break locks and get into feed bags. All Omina Draught horses are greedy, like many breeds of dogs, they won't stop eating if given the chance. Owners must keep an eye on their diet!
