Ryshadium are a subspecies or breed of horse on [[Roshar]]. They are genetically distinct from other horses though they are still capable of mating with them{{wob ref |5|Odessycon|2016}}. The Ryshadium likely descended from horses that were brought to Roshar when humans first arrived{{book ref|sa3| 113}}. They are often referred to as "the third shard" in addition to a [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]]{{book ref|sa3| 10}}.
== Appearance ==
Ryshadium are larger than other breeds of horse. It is noted that Dalinar's Ryshadium [[Gallant]] is two hands taller than an ordinary horse{{book ref |sa1| 12}}. Ryshadium have been seen to have multiple coat colors including, black{{book ref |sa1| 12}}, and white{{book ref |sa1|13}}. Additionally they can have both light or dark eyes which have rectangular pupils{{book ref |sa3| 10}}{{book ref |sa2| 81}}. Unlike ordinary horses Ryshadium have stone hooves and thus do not require shoes{{book ref |sa3| 10}}. This is likely an adaptation they have developed for life on Roshar.
== Abilities ==
Though Ryshadium choose their rider they will allow others to ride them as they are needed, in one instance Ryshadium were used to carry three wounded men from the battlefield {{book ref|sa1|68}}.
'''Known Riders'''
== Spren Bond ==
In the Rosharan essay by Khriss it is stated that there is a symbiotic relationship between spren and Ryshadium {{au ref|rosharan}}. Some of the benefits to Ryshadium are clear(strength, self awareness), it is unclear what the spren receive from the Ryshadium. Ryshadium are – like humans – a non-native species to Roshar that has developed a spren bond{{wob ref|12|Idaho Falls signing |2018}}.
