Lowland Livesta (Horse)
Developed by Natalia Gregorios
Origins: Developed as a superior draft horse for heavy pulling required in the lumber industry, these horses have become popular throughout Scalvoris for their easy upkeep and calm temperament.Price: Tier 5
Habitat: The forests outside Darbyton are the Lowland Livestas preferred habitat.
Lifespan and Development: Livestas are relatively small horses, standing between 12.2 and 16 hands high. While they may be shorter than your typical draft breed, they are broadly built and are easily capable of pulling carriages and caravans, while also serving as riding horses that can support heavier riders. They sport characteristic heavy feathering starting at their knees and hocks. A long, full mane and tail are also common traits.
Diet: Livestas tend to have a slower metabolism than your typical lightweight riding horse, so they need to eat a specific diet. Their slower metabolism can cause them to easily and quickly gain weight, and it also leaves them susceptible to metabolic issues. To combat these potential problems, many owners put their Livestas on a high-fat, low-sugar diet. Many of these horses do well with quality hay, oat, low-sugar vegetable diet.
Temperament: Docile, easy to train, and with a great temperament, the Livesta is a wonderful horse for just about anyone, experienced or inexperienced.
Abilities: No supernatural abilities other than to pull large amounts of weight, making them perfect for hauling wagons, vardos, and caravans.
Weaknesses: The heavy feathering requires constant upkeep.
