Not really - just starting a new thread so as to avoid filling up the quiz one with my insane ramblings!
Opinions please on what breed she was - was she a rabicano Akhal Teke??
"She was certainly unusual,slender nose and flaring, fine nostrils, fine boned altogether..of a great breed"
"She had the bearing of that magnificent breed that had once lived far, far away where the moon rose"

Lol kunuma.
I couldnt remember those bits - they do suggest that EM has a breed in mind rather than just artistic license and it could fit the Akhal Teke: East (where the moon rose), slender, fine boned etc and the coat of course. But once again, if she is of Akhal descendancy how did it get there. Is there any record of horses from Russia/Turkmenistan or Afghanistan being introduced to Australia? Must read the book again now as intrigued!
