Horses In Bridges

Horses are used extensively in the city of Bridges, both for transportation and sport racing. Here are just a few different ones found in the city:

Horses in Bridges used exclusively by the Four Families

• The Spadros Family uses true (non-fading, sheer) black horses with silver and black tack
• The Diamond Family uses true (dominant) white horses with silver and white tack
• The Hart Family uses sorrel horses with silver and red tack – they use this color horse in their racing stock as well
• The Clubb Family uses gold champagne horses with brass and golden-brown tack
  

Possession of a Family horse without written permission of a Family member – which must be carried at all times – is grounds for immediate execution. It’s best not to steal from the Mob. ;)

These animals are bred specifically for color, and range over several different breeds and types of horse, being used as work animals, to pull carriages, and for riding, depending on the breed.

General work horses

• taxi-carriages are pulled by brown Hackney stallions wearing brown and iron tack
• draft horses of various breeds are used in the countryside (and sometimes in the city) for farming and hauling to market.
