Name: Horse
Location: Natural habitats in Thibudis are pretty much anywhere in Thibudis, besides the Yatarian Desert, the Deepthorn Jungle and the coldest regions of the northern lands. However, this has since changed during the time of humans using horses as transport, and now they can be found anywhere humans will go.
Lifespan: 25-30 years

Abilities: Very much similar to horses of Earth, though with a greater disparity between them by region.
Miscellaneous Notes: As noted above, different horses in different regions of Thibudis had different qualities to them.

Here is a brief list of all of them;

Peninsula Horses are considered the finest breed of horse. With a history of going to war that stretches long before anyone else had thought to, these mighty steeds are horses born to be ridden.
Northern Horses have weakened in recent times, as they weren't originally from this region. They are still some regions at the uppermost point of Thibudis that even these horses will not venture to, and yaks are more commonly used, but these horses are not to be underestimated. A speed unmatched in the tundra, Northern Horses are still a valuable asset to the people of the northern lands when speed is of the essence.
Yatarian Horses are tough and durable beasts of burden. While slow, these horses are reliable, stocky creatures that can last for days carrying almost any weight without much trouble.
Sabrian Horses are horses built for riding across the Great Plains. They're large, strong and fast, a cousin to their superior Peninsula counterparts.
Haven Horses are the smallest of all the horses, almost like a Shetland pony. They are very small, slow and docile creatures; life on an island without any natural predators means that they don't even need training to be ridden; one can simply leap on and ride. The various tourist traps around the Havens have found the uses of these creatures and have exploited their appeal to tourists ever since their discovery.
Savannah Horses are horses even the peoples of the Peninsula have given up trying to train. Wild, uncontrollable brutes that attack everything in sight, including each other. Even the wolves are cautious around them. A hunter who can hang its head on his wall can be considered an expert. A hunter who can catch one and keep it alive can be considered a master.
Avelan Horses are known for their beauty, their rarity and very little else. Amongst the most precious sights in all of Thibudis, they are also amongst the most expensive. They are often bought by rich people to show off, even though in terms of strength and speed Avelan horses are pretty much useless. Their coats also go for outrageous prices, and only the royally wealthy can afford them.
