One of my more interesting beasties. I did this image to include in a story/commentary piece I will get around to putting on paper...one of these days. It is the beastie ridden by the guards for Embassies and Consulates in my universe. They stand 17 to 20 hands tall, have feet the size of dinner plates made of steel, 6 inch saber fangs and no problem tearing an enemy to pieces. All the coloration that isn't tack (ie, not brown) are normal coloration. No, they don't wear bridles, Sorki and the horses they are bred with to create these beasties are both sentient so a bridle would be insulting.

"Our embassies are guarded by a special group inside of the diplomatic corp. known as the Diplomatic Guard. They ride a specialty breed of Sorki that are 10 generation Sorki equine hybrids, ie the original Sorki breed line progenitor is 10 generations removed. This makes for a creature that is more horse than Sorki appearance wise but with the size, fangs, bone-steel hooves and capacity to be viscous that Sorki are known for." -Excerpt from "General Moongara on 'The Incident at Bengazi'"
