The horse sports unique tack, including a medieval, Y-shaped, baroque-styled, war bridle, an English saddle with orange spikes in the back of the seat, and bat-shaped flaps, a tattered red riding blanket, and two small pumpkins hanging from the seat of the saddle.
History
According to some of the ghosts at Galloper's Keep, the man who would become Galloper Thompson was shunned by all horses ─ all but this mare. It is said he brought her from the east, possessing no trace of Aideen's Light, resulting the druids of Jorvik to take her away from Thompson. He presumably went after them and reunited with his horse after getting a revenge on the druids.
In a quest line during Halloween 2021, her name is revealed to be Morrigan.
