Object
Encanto Steppe Horse
A sturdy brown horse with a dark mane, standing over 16 hands high, its muscles straining against the common saddle as it bears the weight of three exhausted family members. The animal's breath comes in visible clouds in the cool morning air, its ears twitching at the raised voices during the chaotic reunion. It becomes the literal bridge between Bruno and his family, its rhythmic gait steadying Alma as she mounts in tears.

Purpose
Mount for transportation during a critical family journey
Significance
Serves as tangible proof of Alma's broken trust that has now been partially mended; symbolizes the family's tentative new start. Its use in two pivotal scenes—once during the family's physically painful reconciliation and again during the triumphant procession—shows the horse as the animal whose back bears the weight of both shame and restored honor.
