Horse

Horses are found nearly everywhere in Kreworis, with an abundence of different breeds in existance. The breeds are often loosely divided into three categories based on temperament: spirited "hot bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods", such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and "warmbloods", developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes.
Horses are essential for nearly all current civilisations of Kreworis, due to thier immense usefulness and versitility. It is common that horses are used by travelers and messangers to greatly shorten the time of travels. Merchants often have carts and wagons pulled by one, two or four horses, depending on the size of the vehicle. Horses are also found throughout many industries, as workhorses, for example when heavy lifting or pulling is required. Especially in agriculture horses greatly improve productivity, by pulling plows, or hearding animals on ranches.
But also for law enforcement for patrols and crowed control are vastly more efficient on horseback. Within most militaries arround Kreworis, horses have thier place as battle mounts for cavalary troops or mounts to increase the speed of scout and reconaisance troops. Less obvious but just as important, horses pulling supplycarts often also are an integral part of supply chains of militaries
