Blue Blanket Shortwing

Breed name: Blue Blanket Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Unknown blue hummingbird

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Pony

Overview
These are small little guys, rarely growing taller than 14 hands. Since they’re technically flightless, they’re coveted as flashy driving ponies. Ranchers and breeders often try to breed their blue feathers into broadwings. They can be extremely charming and friendly when they want to be, but may also hold a grudge for much longer than any peg has a right to.

Coloration and Conformation
Perhaps even more unique than the blue plumage on the wings, the blue blankets have orange or red speckle markings around their face and throat, giving them a mischievous look. Clever and strong for their size, these pegasi are prized for their staying power in pulling small carts. Like their larger cousins, they are docile and affectionate in most cases, and have been observed being calm and even curious around children. (Don't test this at home.)
