Westfold Steed

Supergirl rides the Westfold Steed

Alright! We are off to a good start in 2014 with two very solid and distinct looking steeds. After the Snow-Beast Steed got my vote for "Most Unique" last month, February does not disappoint with a very beautiful steed of the month called the Westfold Steed! The steed comes with 5 matching warsteed pieces: leggings, saddle, halter, caparison, and the accessory (saddle bags), so you can customize the way you like.

The Westfold Steed has many elements that might make it your favorite. 
Two things I like most about this steed: 
(1) The warsteed dyes really well! Every color I tested looked great on this steed; I show you a few here but whatever your favorite color, you will probably be pleased with how the outfit holds the color. As always, if you have a special request, just ask and I will try to assist with pictures.

(2) The warsteed is distinct looking. Some of the cloth warsteed outfits tend to run together, but this one stands out with its fur-lined halter and caparison. Everything is just right and not overdone. With the right color and rider outfit, you could butch it up, or make it really feminine (see below).

Westfold Steed: 
Here is the basic Westfold Steed. He has a typical base speed of +68%, same as other steeds. The outfit is a melon color, not in the normal dye palette, which matches well with the horse's pinkish brown hide. The outfit is subtly fur-lined.

Westfold Warsteed - Default colors: 
The default colors and outfit for the warsteed appear to me to be exactly as expected. The warsteed grey hide gives the melon color a more subdued look (which is reaccentuated by different color hides, as expected).

All of the color dyes look great; here are a few after the default colors.

Snow Beast Steed

Supergirl rides the Snow-Beast Steed

Woohoo! We start the year off with a bang in lotro by being offered one of the more unique horses I have seen. The steed of the month for January-2014 is the Snow-Beast Steed! It comes with the 5 Warsteed cosmetic outfit pieces to match the horse: Leggings, Saddle, Halter, Caparison, and Accessory. The other horses of lotro are found at All the Steeds.

This horse is one of a kind... his halter is decked out with fur and horns! He will surely put a fear in the bravest of enemies. Sorry for some of these first shots, the wintry weather was determined to stay rainy and overcast all the time in Falathlorn lately. I was inspired to do something a bit different with this horse post and flew the Snow-Beast Steed out over Forochel. 

Snow-Beast Steed:
The basic horse sports a nice mohawk and furry white outfit and balrog horns. Its hide is a red closest to red roan. with a lighter shade for the tail.
