The Complete Paladin Handbook
The paladin's standard war horse is an unusually hardy steed, slightly larger than a heavy war horse and more heavily muscled. Its shaggy coat and thick hide provides it with natural armor. Powerful legs enable it to move at the speed of a medium war horse. It has a carrying capacity of 300, an encumbered (half-speed) capacity of 450, and an encumbered (one-third movement) capacity of 600.

Special Abilities
Water Runner Ability
The Tarpanic Paladin Steed being from Poseidon can also run on water as if it were on ordinary ground.
However if it proceeds more than 3 leagues out into the ocean, it transforms into a Hippocampus, and will seek to throw off it's rider and free itself from all bonds. The Bond with the animal will be lost forever should it get out into the ocean to that distance. If it is on a ship this will not occur unless the ship sinks.
Wheat Runner Ability
These steeds will also run on ripened and unripened crops in the exactly the same manner as on water - this includes all forms of grains ranging from barley to rice, and no part of the crop will be damaged by the horse's movement - which appears to float just above the crop.
All other surfaces are traversed as normal.



  Horse can run on water as if it were land and strangely on fields of wheat, barley and corn in the same way.
