Feathers
the saying "horse feathers" come from a Clydesdale or any horse with "feathers" on its legs There are no such things as horse feathers. Saying something is horse feathers is the same as saying that it is nonsense. um, YA THERE are they are hairs on a Clydesdale's legs.

If You mean the horse with the feathers, i think you mean a Shire horse.

A clydesdale is a very large draft horse often seen pulling the Budweiser wagon. It has long fethers on it's feet (not actual feathers its long fluffy hair) and is quite tall.
They are called feathers. Most all draft breeds have this extra length of hair on their legs.
I do believe Epona does not have a specific breed. She has Palomino coloring, but she is very stocky and has horse feathers, which are Clydesdale traits. She very well could be a mix-breed, though. Epona does very well have Clydesdale traits. The feathers (hairs covering her hooves) on her feet say she is probably a cross with a Clydesdale. Belgians (another draft breed) don't usually have feathers. She is very stocky. Her big hindquarters and shoulders make me think that she probably has some Quarter Horse in her. She is very fast like a Quarter Horse, too. So maybe a Clydesdale/Quarter Horse. They were obviously going for a draft, stocky horse when they were creating her. I bet they looked at stocky breeds and draft horses. Probably seeing the beauty of the feathers and strong muscles on the Clydesdale and the stockiness and speed in the Quarter Horse. (if that was what happened) :) I guess every hero needs a big horse, LoL.
Common health problems for Clydesdale horses are a condition called the itch, and sunburn. The itch affects the lower part of the legs where the fur feathers. The lack of pigmentation in their faces is a cause or sunburn.
Clydesdale's are not a pony but a large Draft horse a draft foal can weight 200 pounds or more at birth.
