Star Stable | Meet the Percheron!๐ช๐โค๏ธ | Star Stable Breeds @StarStableOnline | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Franceโs beloved gentle giant, the Percheron, has a history as rich and storied as the lands from which it rose to fame.ย
Named for the old Le Perche region in northwestern France, the Percheron pedigree can be traced back to the Middle Ages when mighty grey destrier war horses carried armored knights into battle. As mounted warfare faded into history, the Percheron found new purpose as a carriage and work horse. For a time, the breed enjoyed global fame as the ideal draft horse, becoming one of the most imported and beloved horses in America.ย
When looking upon a Percheron, you canโt help but admire its powerful, sculpted body. With its muscular legs, thick neck, and straight-profiled head, the Percheron almost looks as if it is chiseled from marble. And yet the breed is nimble and capable of great endurance, not just strength, thanks to the introduction of Arabians and Warmblood stock into the bloodline. In their native France, only grey and black coats are allowed in the Percheron registry, but in America and on Jorvik, all colors are welcome.ย
Today Percherons are one of the most versatile draft horses in the world. Youโll find them driving wagons and sleighs, working in forestry, or even competing in show jumping. They are famously agreeable in temperament. The Percheron is especially loved by the Jorvik Rangers, who taught the breed its signature โmoose walkโ for traversing marshy terrain.ย
Through centuries of reinvention, one thing has never changed - the Percheron is a stalwart companion who wonโt let you down.
โ ย Where can I get the Percheron?
You can find them at Marley's Farm. One Percheron variation will be available at Fort Pinta for a limited time before joining the others in Silverglade.
โ ย How much is it?
850 Star Coins.
โ ย What level do I need to be to get one?
Level 7. The variation in Fort Pinta will be available from Level 1, as long as it's in Fort Pinta. When it moves to Marley's Farm it will require Level 7 like the rest of its friends!
โ ย Which colours can I choose between?
Dapple Gray, White Grey, Black, Dark Dapple Gray, Flaxen Chestnut and Bay!
โ ย Is there anything else I should know?
The Percheron has two mane styles available, a long mane and braided loops. If you ask the Percheron nicely, it will perform its signature โmoose walkโ! The Jorvik Rangers taught the Percheron this โmoose walkโ for traversing marshy terrain. To get going, make sure your Percheron is moving at a walk and then hold down SHIFT while asking it to move faster.ย
