Item: Salay Warhorses

Salay warhorses are the finest of all warhorses on Martapa. Bred to be fleet of foot, brave of heart and quick of wit these horses are always a much sought after commodity.

Bred by ranchers near the House Cole the lines of Salay horses are always carefully recorded and documented. Inbreeding is discouraged because it weakens the animal.

They stand around 17 hands at the shoulder and though built like a riding horse, they can carry quite the load and still put on the speed. They are solid color of black, chestnut or charcoal gray and bare no markings save a small mark on the left shoulder which resembles a lightning bolt, which all Salay horses bare.

People buy these animals both as warhorses and riding horses because they are all battle trained. Stallions are never sold, only geldings and mares. These animals are five to six times more expensive then their normal counterpart and can only be sold by authorized Salay sellers.
