All the pretty horses

Decided to ransack my memory for all my equine characters both past & present, and get them together for a quick group shot. They range from the bay pegasus in the background, who was basically a Silver Brumby Mary Sue I came up with when I was about 11 or so, to the very recent unicorn Shedu (based on a Snape - fron Harry Potter - unicorn, that I'd made for an icon. Yes, that is a wand that he's holding in his tail), & Cthulu unicorn squaring off in the background. All are mares except for the two palominos, the rainbow palomino, the chtulu'corn & shedu'corn, and the bay rearing in the foreground. The names of most of them I would not remember, though the tiny palomino down the front was called Gold and Silver - he was a kind of faerie pony I made up to alternately entertain and/or tease my younger sister when I was a teenager. She saw through it pretty quickly when I tried to set up an 'appearance' one night using a Barbie doll horse. The rainbow palomino I made up about the same time, along with most of the others. The skull-faced mare & bay stallion were both dream-based; the stallion was a horse I'd dreamt of being twice (quite graphic, both times in a medieval European setting). The mare is the one I based the skull pony on - [Link], and the reason why she look like she does is basically she's an extremely well-resurrected zombie. The spirit gnome who took pity on her was able to near-fully restore her body, but not her head. To compensate, he remade her skull out of pearl, and was able to cover most of it with a type of pearly skin.

The majority of these characters were made at least more than 10 years ago, well before I went even near the web. Any resemblance they may have to anyone else's characters is coincidental only.

[Eta:] - re' references, all horses except the four at the front were drawn from memory. For the four, my reference was various photos from an old horse book I picked up secondhand: The Horse, by Jane Kidd, Tiger Books International PLC London, 1992 (c) Salamander Books Ltd 1985.
