What's your favorite mythological horse type?

[Rainbow Diamonds 282]

I didn't add Earth Ponies because they aren't exactly mythological horses. If they are, I haven't seen any myths about horses or ponies that are able to grow food. 

 

Unicorn: A horse that has a single horn on its head

Pegasus: A horse that has wings 

Alicorn: A horse that has both wings and a single horn

Hippogriff: A creature that has the front of an eagle and the back of a horse  

Hippocampus: A creature that has the front of a horse and the back of a fish 

Hippalectryon: A creature that has the front of a horse and the back of a chicken

Depends which kind of universe it's from...for example I like the old Heroes III unicorn:

 

 

Edit: I haven't even heard about the last two. Half horse half fish? A seahorse?

I am gonna say Unicorn, as while I think Alicorns are cool and all, I think it is unfair the others in that regard. Though I really haven't read many things about mythological horses. It is weird that Pegasi are the ones usually used in a, I guess, 'cool' manner while Unicorns are usually advertised as 'girly'. Really odd. 

 

Also:

Hippalectryon: A creature that has the front of a horse and the back of a chicken

 

This seems reeeeeaaaaally counter-intuitive. XD

What are you talking about:

Hippocampus is on the left and Hippalectryon is on the right.

Uhhhh......

 

 

Uh.

 

Hmm....

 

I dunno. That still doesn't seem like it works well. XD Scootaloo might be a special case though in that regard.

Do centaurs count as mythological horse types? Otherwise for me it's a tie between unicorns and pegasus.

Yes, centaurs count. If it's a horse or has some part of a horse, then it counts.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

Awesome, will change my vote to Other.

[Kerberossz 1,929]

Hippocampus is on the left and Hippalectryon is on the right.

Well...that had been a rough night back then when the greeks made up these two for the next day.

I voted the hipogriff because I love griffins of all kinds... 

But I also like Kelpie, the Celtic shape shifting spirit that often appears as a horse!

UNICORNS! Man, I wish these magnificent creatures were real. If they were, I'd own one and I will stay with it forever. That's one reason why Rarity is my favourite character from MLP.

 

I'd write several pages and paragraphs of reasons despite me being a dude, why I love unicorns so much.

I really like pegasi because I have always been fascinated with flight.

Also, horses with beautiful angel-like wings are just gorgeous.

Pegasi have always been such cool creatures for me. I mean its a simple concept, horses with wings, but it works. Can you just imagine how fun it would be to ride on one.

I won’t chose alicorns because it’s too cheap. Speaking of them, is there a myth about them in the first place .

Anyway, I’d like to mention several immortal horses from Greek myths, but my definitive favorite mythological horse would be the divine dragon horses: Kirin 

[Lucky Bolt 34,964]

Pegasus....because floffy birb pones are best pones. 

[EpicEnergy 22,214]

Pegasi are the most interesting to me!

[Savygriffs 5,027]

Definitely Pegasus, or Hippogriff for me!

They're just so floofy !
