About the Horses of North of North
North of North is the ancestral home of all horses. Every horse can trace its bloodline back to North of North. Naturally, the horses of North of North are the best and brightest of their kind. Every horse in North of North has been touched by magic, and even the most normal-looking of horses has at least one small magical gift of their own. Sometimes, it takes a while for the horse to discover what it is.

Although their gifts and abilities vary, all horses in North of North share some common traits that differentiate them from regular horses. Firstly, their lifespans are much longer. They live at least as long as humans do, and many live for hundreds of years or even more. They can learn, remember, wonder, imagine and figure things out much like people.

Horses in North of North are intelligent enough to understand human speech, but they don't talk themselves. Instead they use a magical ability called horse-sharing. This ability lets horses share mental pictures with people, horses or other animals, so they can tell others what they are thinking or how they are feeling. Anyone who has a bond with a particular horse can pick up the horse's emotions from these pictures. For horses, the pictures of horse-sharing are much clearer than words.

Pegasi
Pegasi are the winged horses of North of North. Although they all can be called pegasi, not one is alike! Each pegasus in North of North has unique wings. Some are feathered, some are scaled, others are made of pure elements or magic, or some even have insect wings! These horses can use their unique magical wings to fly high above the land, or even participate in winged races in the blue skies over Trails End.

A few famous pegasi are Nike, founder of Herd Airistos, and Wings, Emma's Valkyrie steed.

Windwalker
Like pegasi, windwalkers have the ability to fly. However, the difference between the two types of horses is that windwalkers do not have wings. Instead, they have the innate magical ability to walk upon the air, without any wings at all! They may sometimes create their own surfaces to walk on, such as horses who trail fire or stardust behind them, while others simply run and take to the skies.

A few well-known windwalkers are Mistral, Colour, and Soot, Emma's cousin Colm's steed.

Dew Ponies
Dew ponies are unique magical ponies. They normally are various shades of green, and are constantly dripping with dew.

These ponies travel in the early morning when dew is still on the leaves of the trees and the grass on the ground. This is because they have the unique ability to part wet vegetation wherever they go. This allows them to travel uninterrupted through even the densest of forests.

Dew ponies are also said to be some of the shyest ponies in North of North.

A few prominent dew ponies are Dewdrop from Harmony's Journey and Dewsparkle.
