red hare

Red Hare was the extraordinary horse that Dong Zhuo presented to Lu Bu along with gold, pearls, and a belt of jade. The purpose of this gift was to persuade Lu Bu to murder his stepfather, Ding Yuan, and join Dong Zhuo in the historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was said to be able to run one thousand li in a day. (That's roughly three hundred thirty miles) It receives its name from the blood spots that cover its entire body that are a fresh red. Also, its mane and tail were compared to fire. Red Hare is presumed a blood-sweating Dayuan horse. It is called chi tu ma, Red Hare Steed, not for the color red, but because the horse is used to hunt the hare. (chi is almost a rhyme to she, which means to shoot in Chinese) If it was to see a hare, it would stop running and hold its ground without the application of the reins. This training was to give the hunter a more steady shot. For this reason, they would call it Red Hare or Hare Hunter.
