Okay, while I'm being wildly offtopic--where's a good place to find a visual reference for the type of bridle that would be in use in the West in the 1830s? I don't think the picture is going to include the saddle.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

serial:
there weren't many, if any, around in the states in the 1800s
It doesn't have to be typical, just vaguely plausible. It's magic, after all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Quarter horses have been used as stand-ins before. They're sort of the western default. If you're going for magical, I still think the car maps best onto thoroughbred for the same qualites: she's high maintenance, and she stands out in a crowd of economical, ergonimic counterparts.
Quarter horses are my personal fave--a good cutting horse is a joy to watch.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I guess the impala only seems small next to the giants who drive her.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Yeah, Impala = boat. Parking one, well, I'd have to get used to it again. Turning radius, heh.
I love the Quarterhorse for looks but not as big as you would need to stand out like the Impala. I would map the Impala onto Friesian, Percheron, or [link] Yup.

Are you thinking of the cowboy era? There's no significant American settlement of the West until after the War, except for the settlers to the Pacific Northwest on the Oregon trail. The cattle drives started in 1866; Dodge City started in the 1870s.

To be honest, I have no idea exactly where this is set. Just when (1836) and Western. If I have to reconcile visually with one over the other, I'll go with Western.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
BTW, according to the scary website that posted it, the JDM-JA-JP photo was a manip combining a photo of JDM walking down the street with some other guy and a photo of JA and JP walking down the street in Vancouver. I will admit it took me a bit to recognize JDM - I don't know if I've ever seen him in glasses before.

Would this help any, ita?
