fyi for the mdzs star stable / any equestrian au really my headcanons are

WWX: has the capability to be a pro equestrian in pretty much any field he chooses, but rarely competes and prefers to host riding lessons for kids and do trail rides with Suibian instead. Usually rides bareback

LWJ: dressage and English showjumping pro. Famous for composing his own music for his routines. His secret desire is for Wei Ying and Suibian to perform a routine he choreographed

JC: also a pro showjumper because of his family's legacy but yearns for a career in barrel racing. He most often uses an inherited heirloom western saddle from his mom and Zidian loathes to wear anything except for it. Enjoys trail riding with wwx, but isn't very good at hosting classes or rides for beginners

NHS: was expected to carry on the Nie family's history of combined driving, but his heart horse is a dinky little pony. Pretty much only does short trail rides because he claims he gets too sore from long ones. Has taught his pony a lot of random circus tricks though, jumping through hoops is her favorite

Drew this yesterday for the mdzs SSO au as well. Essentially a shitty rundown on star stable lore -- there are 4 soul riders (main character squad with magical powers) in each generation bonded to 4 guardian horses, and their goal is to maintain a seal keeping the evil eldritch tentacle monster under the ocean. When they complete this goal, they retire and p much just chill until their guardian horses die and are reincarnated into new horses for the next generation.

In this au's case, the next gen are the juniors so Jin ling inherits jiang cheng's Zidian, ouyang zizhen inherits nie huaisang's horse that I haven't named yet, probably mo xuanyu inherits wwx's Suibian, and lan yuan/sizhui inherits lwj's Bichen (shown below). Lwj's Bichen was a drafty wild horse, but under sizhui she reincarnates into a full clydesdale-like tank with an appaloosa blanket reminiscent of Suibian : )
