Persian Mare

Persian Mare (汗血馬, Kangetsuba, lit. Sweat and Blood Horse), also known as Arabian steed in Samurai Warriors, is a rare red-tinted horse that is actually a Ferghana horse. In Samurai Warriors, equipping the Arabian Saddle will allow the player to ride this horse. The horse is usually ridden by Masamune in the games. It was said that Masamune was one of the few generals of his time to ride horses imported from Persia, but there is little proof that states this actually occurred.

In the first game, it is the second fastest horse that the player can equip. It has above average speed and strength but cannot run over many obstacles. In the sequel, it is one of the three horses in the game with excellent stats. When the players run through enemies, they will additionally be set ablaze.
