The Caledonian Blueblood (Equus equestrianensis unicornis bluebloodensis, Scottish Gaelic: An gorm-fuil each, German: Schottische blau Blut Pferd, Romanian: cal alb scoțian cu sânge albastru, Hungarian: Skót kék vérű ló, Russian: Шотландский голубых кровей лошадь) is an endangered species of Equestrian pony that can only be found in the highlands of Scotland and Eastern Europe, where it was introduced as gifts to Hapsburg monarchs.

The Caledonian blueblood usually spends its time grazing by the hillside, and sometimes it intrudes into farms, where it may try to court mares and eat pastries (but avoids crusted pastries, which it considers as "carnival fare"). It always grooms itself, and reacts strongly against anything that make stain its fur, from mud to rubbish. Even though it is as strong as a draft horse, it usually avoids fighting, preferring to complain and pressure humans into more grooming.

Bluebloods usually organize themselves into all-male herds, who wander the land in search of luxury products and mates. While it is obviously possible for a stallion Blueblood and a mare Bluebelle to have a foal, Bluebloods prefer to court mares from other breeds.

The main threats of the Caledonian Blueblood usually consist of irritated peasants, poachers, and hunters. The peasants would sometimes try to catch and tame Bluebloods, sell them to perform in circuses and horse shows, or kill them. Poachers hunt Bluebloods for their horns and cutie marks, the former of which is used either for collection or to produce quack medicine. While Bluebloods were hunted in the olden days for sport (to the extent that the only Bluebloods left in Scotland live in private estates), their numbers rapidly declined after the summer of 2011, when bronies from all over the world organized hunting trips out of hatred against a similar character in a cartoon show.


This picture is a photograph of a herd of Blueblood stallions in a well-guarded estate in Scotland. While it allows bronies and pegasisters to visit, they, and everyone else, are not allowed to take photographs of its Bluebloods or reveal them to the public, to avoid encouraging possible smuggling or poaching incidents within its compound.
