Appearance
The warlander boasts a physically imposing and muscular structure, standing between 15.2 to 17 hands high, actively reflecting its crossbreed heritage. Displaying a variety of coat colors, predominantly black, bay, and grey, absence of identifiable patterns is a common observation. Its long, flowing mane and tail, often the same color as the coat, adorn its robust frame. Distinguishing features include a large, expressive, and keen-eyed face with brown or black eyes. Age-related greying is marginal but can gradually emerge.
Behavior
Warlander showcase a blend of calm confidence and keen alertness, making them highly intelligent and trainable. Their sociability is notable, with a knack for forming strong bonds with caretakers. Responsive to stimuli, they possess an excellent temperament; they stay composed under pressure yet express curiosity towards new experiences. Their health and mood can often be inferred from their vibrant, keen-eyed appearance and their playful, energetic disposition when in good spirits.
