Okay that's my first attempt at digital colouring. Critics are really apreciated and greatly welcomed!

So flying horses, these are on of those mythological creatures that I've always hated. I mean, they make no sense at all! Horses are grazer herbivores, so why in the world would they ever have the need to evolve flight? Yes, in order to escape predators, but it is not really convincing... Also if they are still grass-eating animals, this would require them to still keep most of their time on the ground feeding as flying is a really energetically expensive activity. There is also the problem of a pregnant horse still being able to fly without having a heat stroke. Also, winged horses look dumb...

Anyway, in this magical and fantastical world I'm building, flying horses do exist. Although did not originally evolved in the Isle ( bit.ly/2uoynsT ) they are found in some mountanious regions of it. They are omnivorous and usually frightened animals, so it is very difficult to ride them, as they are extremely dangerous creatures. Flying horse calves are born at a very early stage of development, and females take care, and feed them, as they are born blind, and unable to walk or fend for themselves. Females are bigger than males, and they can have litters of between one to four calves (although usually only one or two survive to adulthood). There are different species of flying horses on different regions of the world. In the Isle, three different species are known.

If someone is ever able to ride and tame a flying horse, he will have on of the most powerful mounts of the known world, both fast, intelligent and strong.

That's it, but I still think flying horses are absurd... lol
