You made me go horsing around so congratulations
My ideas were mostly CosPro based but
Nagisa is a Shire Horse, ya know the huge ones with flowy feathered legs that was way too good in any category so retired early and now is just vibing serving as everyone's emotional support horse but also mentor to the younger horses including Mitsuru (idk how they see each other dont ask me)
Hiyori could buy any possible horse with his family money but he fucking picked a random not so known horse(Jun) to be his
Talking about Jun, he is best at cart pulling or other weight lifting competitions though Hiyori think they're not beautiful at all
Onto the Bees, maybe all of them except Kohaku are horses
Niki is retired because he got way too hungry during any competition but oh boy Ibara considered selling Niki way too many times from the amount that horse eats but somehow Niki is even better than Nagisa to motivate other horses and as emotional support despite ocasional bickering with Rinne
HiMERU also is a quite majestic but more lean/slim horse that was great in races and other competitions but used to listen ONLY to Kaname but after the accident, HiMERU stayed without anyone to handle him until Kohaku ended around and HiMERU bonded with him instead of ignoring or being passive aggressive like he used to do with others
Seeing that Ibara decided yeah its worthy losing that race if it meant Kohaku would work for him, and by that getting HiMERU to race again
Kaname is human too but wasn't that good at horse racing relying a lot on HiMERU to win until the day Tatsumi lost control of Mayoi(or any other horse) leading to a collision mid race/practice with quite some damage on both humans with Kaname getting into coma while Tatsumi injured his leg and got amnesia of the event....only the horses remember what happened
Ritsu as Rei's horse sound so damn funny like they grew together with Ritsu being like a brother to Rei but oh boy he don't listen to Rei at all just sleeps most of the day being active at night and somehow is the only horse who learned how to open the barn door to go out for a night stroll
this is amazing i keep thinking about "only the horses remember what happened" KHDASHD IT'S SENDING ME
I really like the idea of Nagisa as a shire horse ! I was actually thinking of redesigning him (from my first drawing) into one !! I think most of my horse designs severely lack some shire horses ^__^;; here are some conceptual sketches i had of him!
plus i absolutely ADORE the idea of Niki just being a silly little hungy horse !!
Also Ritsu as a horse is an idea i couldve never thought of myself O__O i just see him as like a silly kitty cat but the concept of Ritsu horse is ruminating in my mind
