Pauma

Appearance
Pauma is an iridescent pinkish-white mare, with a multi-colored pastel mane and tail. Due to her size in comparison to her swordfish friend, Pauma may either be a miniature horse or this particular swordfish is unusually large.

Personality
Pauma enjoys her freedom and values having wide spaces to move in.

Swordfish
Pauma has a special connection to the swordfish. However, although her stable codes call her friend a swordfish, the card art actually indicates a sailfish!

The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on are located in the Pauma Valley, San Diego County, California. Their name refers to a band of the Luiseno Indians of Southern California. The Luisenos have dwelled in the area around present-day San Diego for 10,000 years. They form a harmonious bond with the land and its wildlife, both animal and vegetable. Springs from the mountains feed the canyon wildlife which has sustained the Luisenos throughout their tribal history.
