About
Whip-tail equines were discovered relatively recently, most herds living deep in the remote forests and jungles of central Asia. They appear to be a relative of the common horse, similar to the zebra or donkey.
After being researched now for a decade since their discovery, whip tails are now being exported all over the globe due to their exponentially rising population numbers. These equines can now be found in most countries; some in zoos, some small herds introduced (or escaped) into forests, and some tamer ones kept as pets. New reports have found that a very select few equines have even been tamed enough to ride.
Another recent development in the whip-tail research is that there are at least 2 subspecies. The known subspecies are Lowland Whip-tails, and Highland Whip-tails. Highlands are the more common variety, with two-pronged horns and lighter feathering on their legs. These species are more prone to living in open grasslands, prairies, plateaus, and young woodlands. The Lowlands are a more recent discovery, with horns that spiral outward and heavier feathering around the hooves. These equines are more reclusive in temperament, and prefer thicker jungles, swamps, and forests. The two subspecies intermingle often, so hybrids also occur, which can sport variations of their leg feathering and horns in combinations.

Like many bird species, they have developed coloration in the coat as a way for male to attract females. Stallion WTEs usually have more colorful coats (although females may too), ranging from spots to stripes to patches, often many at the same time. Their eye color varies in a large range of colors, and can appear any color besides red or pink. They often will have two different colors in the same eye. They have also developed thick feathering down the back of their legs to protect themselves from prickly plants, although it also serves the winter use for warmth. Their tails have grown to be very long, and it has been speculated that it is to help them balance in their dense woodland habitat, although so little is known that it isn't certain. Finally, the stallions have also developed two-pronged horns on the back of their head similar to deer, and likewise use them to compete with other males for dominance as well as protection from their main predators; tigers, leopards, and occasionally wolves.

WTEs live a little longer than the average horse, ranging about 50-60 years. Foals come to maturity later as well, at about 6 years old. Whip-tails are able to breed at the age of 4-5 years old. They are small to medium sized in comparison to common horses, ranging between 12hh - 16hh. They are never over 17hh, or under 12hh.
They so far cannot be ridden, only because they are so feral that anyone who gets within ten feet of a WTE makes them flee. Some people, however, seem to have a certain atmosphere about them that calms them. Are you one of these people?

These are the markings that can be seen on WTEs.


Cosmic: a single-colored brindle-like marking. Often in patches (not fullbody), and almost always covers the eye as well. (rare)
Collar: a multicolored collar-like marking covering all or most of the chest around the neck. (uncommon)
Torti: Slightly darker cloud-like patches. (rare)

Striped: zebra-like striping cover all or part of the body. (uncommon)
Brindle: Like striped, but thinner/fainter, caused by genetic mutation rather than coloration. Harder to be passed down in foals. (uncommon, rare to pass down in breedings)
Pinto/appaloosa/dun/roan/champange/cream: All natural horse colors and patterns can occur. (common)
Mosaic/chimera: Mosaic is patches/spotting of two colors other than white, and Chimera is of three colors. (uncommon)

Horns may be solid or multi-colored with the same colors the hooves can occur as. (primarily tan, dull brown, grey, and black)
