- The Origin of the Northstar Warmblood -

Long before written records, high in the frostbitten reaches of the northern mountains, there existed a rare and elusive breed of horse unlike any other. These rugged ponies—never given a true name—were nature’s own mountaineers: compact, sturdy, and astonishingly agile. With hooves like iron and a spirit unyielding, they moved through treacherous slopes with the ease of mountain goats, scaling cliff faces and traversing icy ridges where no ordinary horse could follow.

What made these creatures even more mysterious was their deep connection to the stars. Legends say they could sense celestial movements, often seen migrating by starlight, moving as if guided by unseen constellations. They thrived in darkness and winter, their thick coats shimmering faintly under moonlight, their pale eyes reflecting the night skies. Locals believed they were born of the stars themselves, guardians of the frozen peaks.

When northern kingdoms grew and military needs expanded, scouts and horsemasters took notice of the ponies’ uncanny endurance and terrain mastery. Determined to forge a mount as mystical as it was practical, they began carefully crossbreeding these northern ponies with the finest warmblood lines of the age—strong, elegant breeds such as the Oldenburg, Hanoverian, Cleveland bay and Holsteiner, bred for war and discipline.

Generations passed. The hybrid foals carried forward the mountain ponies’ resilience and sure-footedness, blended with the size, grace, and trainability of noble warmbloods. Over time, the crossing stabilized into a distinct and powerful new breed—the Northstar Warmblood.

Named for their ancient bond with the stars and their northern roots, these horses carry within them a legacy of magic, survival, and human ingenuity. Their ombré manes still echo the frosted winds of their ancestors’ peaks, their unique markings like constellations written across their hides. And though they now serve in arenas, parades, and competitive disciplines, some say that when the cold night settles in and the stars are brightest, the Northstar still remembers how to climb.

Yes people, NorthStar Patreon now comes with it's own breed, and above you can see the origin story / lore about the breed, and one of the studs!

This month's mystery box is this: everyone who claims a design, will get a unique design from us. All you have to do is reach out to us and we'll discuss the design of your new horse.
You may choose the design yourself, or you can choose to give us creative freedom and let it be a surprise. For now we have 2 mares and 3 stallions that can be chosen as parents (we will show you these once you reach out to claim your design).

PS: everyone who owns a Northstar Warmblood also gets their own Northstar Warmblood brush pack, that includes brushes that works well with the breeds unique markings.

After the design is made, you will get a character sheet like shown above sent to you.

Here's also a link with more info about the breed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10nL_sz7wh_G2BjS80-5naY5GinzHLULXADhisHnEu-M/edit?usp=sharing

Really hope you like this months mystery box, even though it's very different from our previous boxes and not actually "boxes" attached to the files. But this is the start of something new, something we hope will become great!

Attached to the files this time is the character sheets of the two mares and three stallions you can choose from as parents. Keep in mind these are just so you can have a look at potential parents, and are not to be used. These horses are exclusively for Cath and Lucia's use!

PS: don't forget to reach out to claim your brand new horse ⭐️
