Welcome to the Capaill Uisce adoption center!
Main Thread ~ Information ~ Fanclub ~ Breeding Thread ~ Archive
Capaill uisce are water horses that come from the sea. They are closely related to the kelpie, a water horse known to reside in ponds and lakes. Capaill uisce come to the shore on coasts and islands all throughout the fall, most commonly in late September through mid November. They can be caught if one is careful and can be tamed to a point. Each year in the fall when storms start stirring the sea they have a strong calling to the water and the magic that stirs within it. Most are advised to keep their uisce well away from the water during this time, for they are known to drag their riders into the sea. Throughout the rest of the year they are reasonably safe to ride on the beaches, if they have a vigilant and competent handler.

Capaill uisce can be kept under control using a variety of charms. Many choose to use iron on their tack and often bells are draped over the horses, the ringing used to drown out the call the sea has on them. But beware. Some water horses become so agitated by the charms used to hold them that they become more unruly and will lash out in frustration. You must carefully observe your uisce to decide which charms are right for you.
In appearance, capaill uisce are large, lean beasts. Typically they stand between 15-17 hands and have a leaner build than most horses. They have an almost serpentine look about them with a long, muscular neck that often arches when something has caught their interest. Their bodies are long and sleek and most often resemble that of an akhal teke in breed. Unlike most horses, the teeth of a capaill uisce are not for eating plants and grains. They are meat eaters, and as such have large canines and sharp teeth that are powered by strong jaws. Hunting capaill will make a deep throated clicking call that sounds much like the sonar of a dolphin. They prefer moving prey and once in pursuit they let out a wailing, echoing call that can carry for miles. To keep you uisce from going after humans you must feed it well and not handle them when they are hungry
