Mount Description
I cannot believe I had forgotten to finalise the listing of the Sunflower Steed as part of my Farmers Faire Mounts project. It was only when I completed the Farmers Faire War-Steed Cosmetics that I realised my error.
Sunflower Steed Description
As the name suggests, the bright yellow blooms are a really obvious feature on this mount. Not only are you carrying a huge basket of them to (or from) the market, but you can see sunflower motifs on the caparison/barding and the saddle too.
This horse or pony has a unique mane-style (though we call it horse-hair, so maybe it is hairstyle?). It sort-of bunches up down the neck and flops over its forehead. I'm not really selling it, am I?
Anyhow, the tail is also unusual in how its tied. So, if you want a steed that just a bit different, then this one may be for you.
I will check this out soon - because I can't remember which "version" is the correct one. The steed's mane and hide were changed after the event started in that year, leading to two different screenshots (See the Wiki, for example).
There's only one look, but it totally depends on when my shots were from. So, I'll retake it if this one is, in fact, incorrect!
