Coat Colour

[Lyarie]

What colour is the coat of a Turcoman horse?

[Glendower]

Well, let's check the Wikipedia for a few facts.

Turkoman Horse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkoman_Horse)

"The coat of a Turkomen horse can be of any color, and usually possesses a metallic glow to it. The horses range from 15-16 hh."

[Marullus]

Interesting in the article. Hadn't heard of the "glowing coat" before. I'd double-check that with some non-Wikipedia sources. They do talk about it a little further down that page, too:


The Turkoman horse, in all its form, has a coat which glows with a metallic sheen. Not all horses in a population will show it, and some glow more than others, but as a whole, a glowing coat is a hallmark of the breed. This is due to a change in the structure of the individual hair. Many theories have been put forth as to why the Turkoman glows, but none explain why the Turkoman horses in particular benefit from this genetic difference and why other horses would not.

I'd give them all the trait of "nasty" or "violent" as well, personally. A rather disturbing breed. From what I know, they are the only true meat-eating horse, and have a general temprement to match.
