 Horses exhibit a diverse array of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_coat_color coat colours] and distinctive markings, described by a specialized vocabulary.  Often, a horse is classified first by its coat colour, before breed or sex.  Horses of the same colour may be distinguished from one another by white markings, which, along with various spotting patterns, are inherited separately from coat colour.  Familiar colours include chestnut, black, bay, pinto, dun, grey, buckskin, champagne, cream and palamino. Familiar markings include blazes, stars, stripes and a bald face.

-'''Horseback riding''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Animal Training (field)|Animal Training]], which provides the disciplines of managing, driving and vaulting with horses, enabling the character to train horses, administer to their health, and participate in their breeding.  This also allows the use of horses in combat, particularly larger and more aggressive horses, as [[Knowledge Points|knowledge]] is accumulated.

 __TOC__
 Characters without this training are able to "ride" upon horses, but they are not able to manage the animals by themselves.  Lacking knowledge, they must rely upon a trained rider or a servant to lead the horse.  This is called [[Assisted Riding|assisted riding]].
