"Your horse is a 14.2hh bay stallion. He is a reserved 3 year old with a faint star marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of nothing on his right front leg, a coronet on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and a pastern on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for parades. He may be a Spanish Mustang, a Thoroughbred, or a Dutch Warmblood."
