Elven horses are the steeds of the Sidhelien. They appear
similar to normal horses at first glance, yet the elven horses
are different from regular horses in many of the ways elves
differ from men. Elven horses are slimmer and more graceful
than other horses, their colors are usually more pronounced or
pure, generally tending towards white fur and a silvery gray
mane, and they are more intelligent than regular horses. Exceptional
elven horses are able to speak Sidhelien.
Combat

Elven horses are the preferred warsteeds of the Sidhelien, and they serve faithfully as such. Elven horses without a master prefer to run away rather than face hostile creatures. Given their speed, they will usually succeed at escaping.
Swiftness (Ex): Elven horses are unusually swift. Their
height does not limit the distance they can jump. Elven horses
gain Run as a bonus feat.
Tread on Air (Su): For a total of three rounds each day,
Elven horses can tread on air as if it were solid land. The duration
of this ability need not be continuous, but can be split up
any way that is appropriate.
Elven Qualities: Elven horses gain a +2 racial bonus on all
Listen, Search and Spot checks (accounted for in the stat
block), immunity to magical sleep effects, aging and normal
disease, a +2 racial bonus on saves against enchantment effects,
low-light vision, and they do not suffer any terrain
movement penalties. Similar to elves, elven horses do not require
sleep, and they need only about four hours of quiet rest
on any given day.
Skills: Elven horses gain a +8 racial bonus on Jump checks
(accounted for in the stat block).
