Stoned Horse
Each item of this nature appears to be a fullsized, roughly hewn statue of a horse, carved from some type of hard stone. A command word brings the steed to life, enabling it to carry a burden and even to attack as if it were a real horse of the appropriate kind.
A stoned horse can carry 1,000 pounds tirelessly and never needs to rest, but is ALWAYS looking to feed. Damage dealt to it can be repaired by first using a stone to flesh spell, thus causing the stone horse to become a normal horse that can be healed normally. When fully healed, it automatically reverts to its stones form. While in its stone form, it can be fed large bags of marble chips, healing 1 point of damage for each 50 gp worth of mineral it is given. On command, it emits a fragrant cloud of smoke that provides partial cover and improves the mood of all within it (+2 Cha mod).
There are two sorts of stoned horses.

Destrier
