Pull out the long list of equine fiction, /tg/.

I need stories, myths, fables, campaigns all centered around horses and amazing heroes riding horses.

Kelpies, unicorns, pegasi, sleipnirs, kirins, thestrals.

I'd love to kick start a new series of campaigns based on horses and horse riders.

>A third story tells that in 362 (still following the Varronian chronology), a great chasm opened on the Roman Forum. The seers were consulted, and the Romans learned that they had to throw "that what constituted the greatest strength of the Roman people" into the ravine. If they did, their empire would last forever. A warrior named Marcus Curtius understood the significance of the story: he mounted his horse, said that youth was the most important thing, and jumped into the chasm, which duly closed.

one of my favorite horse themed myths is the greek hero belerephon, first rider of the pegasus and slayer of the chimera, he has a wikipedia page and he is basically a baller all the time until zeus was a huge dick.

but yea, first rider of the pegasus, and he used the flight in interesting ways, he tamed some amazons by dropping boulders on them, they couldnt do shit about it cause he was up in the sky.

>unicorns

Should be exterminated. They're perverted bloodthirsty rapists. You know how they like virgins? Well, what happens when they meet a non-virgin? They run them through and trample them into a bloody paste. Doesn't matter if your first time was at your wedding night with your lawfully wedded wife; you're not a virgin, so you die.

But now you think, "Oh, I'm on /tg/ and therefore safe because I'm still a virgin." Well tough shit, you fapped to some horribly perverted things and tained your soul this way, so you die as well. Maybe you're a virgin, but have come to terms with your own homosexuality/lesbianism/bisexuality/whatever? You're corrupted, so you die.

Even pure virgins are not safe. Adults are shunned or chased off. Boys are barely tolerated. And girls? Well, why do you think unicorns are interested in virginal girls? Personal use. Unicorns ae actually an all-male species that reproduce by sexually assaulting mares (this is how griffons produce hippogriffs as well) and leaving them pregnant with their young. Unicorn foals appear pure at first, but as they age their hearts darken. They are frequently chased off by a herd of horses after they sexually assault another member of the herd, usually a young mare.

And this is why you should hunt down and kill all unicorns.

Legendary horse for legendary riders, Red Hare was renowned for being the companion to the near-invicible Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu's death was taken in by "The God of War", Guan Yu.

Was probably a horse trained to be quiet when hunting game in actual history but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms romanticized it into a massive warhorse with fiery red coloration. That exaggerated portrayal survives to this day in pop-culture, ie Dynasty Warriors.

It was the best horse, capable of running 1000 miles a day, whether on water or land.

To my memory Red Hare was renowned as a horse in general but was known for being so finicky about who would ride it that it gained a reputation for being untameable. Red Hare's breed was highly regarded but the peoples that owned them are probably more at hand for that with their training of the horses.

Lu Bu and Guan Yu are the only recorded riders of Red Hare (though she went through several owners and Lu Bu's by far the more notable of the two, there's even a proverb of "Among men, Lu Bu; among horses, Red Hare" attesting to their greatness among their peers) and with how Shu-centric RotTK is Guan Yu's debatable, though he probably did still ride the horse or at least own it after Lu Bu's execution.

Not as legendary as Red Hare, Serbian folklore has Sarac (the Colorful One), the steed of Prince Marko.

Given to him by fairies, it was an intelligent horse whose colors changed daily, could speak, run fast as wind, and would only drink wine. Both of them would get drunk constantly. He also made his rider unkillable as long as he's in the saddle. In the end, when Marko was mortally wounded, the horse carried him to the spot he was destined to die and refused to let him die earlier. Once they reached the fated place, both of them dropped dead and were carried away by fae.

An awesome horse for an awesome motherfucker who removed kebab by beating it to death with oxen. As in, he flung cows at them and then beat them to death with said cows.

He also fought a giant immediately after getting out of prison where he went 3 years without any food or water. The monster was born in the woods, who had three ribcages protecting his three hearts.

After several days of fighting the monster, Marko finally managed to land a blow with his trusty mace and opened his enemy's ribcage. There he saw that one of the monster's hearts gave out from exhaustion, the other was beating furiously because he was finally having fun, and the third heart had an angry viper in it that jumped at Marko.

How the fuck does that even work?

>and the third heart had an angry viper in it that jumped at Marko.

Please tell me he snatched it in mid-air and punched it in the face Van Damme style.

>How the fuck does that even work?

Instead of one ribcage you have three ribcages covering the vital organs, one atop the other. In this case, three hearts.

>Please tell me he snatched it in mid-air and punched it in the face Van Damme style.

The snake woke up after the second heart gave out. That's when the giant became mad.

Yes, in Serbian folklore, the BBEG only gets angry at you after two of its hearts give out from exhaustion. Then it decides it's time to stop fucking around and get serious.

This is an amazing horse ridden by the most amazing of heroes.

And he's not fictional.

Supposedly he had one blue eye and one dark eye, like his master. That might not be true, but it's so incredibly badass that it doesn't really matter.

Only true horses ride into battle at the potential of being killed.

Unlike those dumb farm horses which get scared of the smallest creak of noise.
