Excellent, 3 points!

Great, 3 points! Breeding has produced much more tame individuals nowadays though. The mare that we have is actually very quiet. Samson can be a handful at times though...

Is this where the Abraxan's name derives from?

And one other question if you don't mind Professor, I have also heard the Beauxbaton's School uses these creatures to pull their own carriages when they travel. Is this true? It must be amazing to watch these creatures fly. They're size is astonishing!

I'm actually not sure on the first one, mythology isn't my strong suit, but that might be something great for you to research! And yes indeed, it has become tradition since the reinstatement of the tri-wizard tournament years ago that they always travel in Abraxan pulled carriage. 3 points!

Unfortunately that is incorrect. Yes, the school has them, but the breed did not originate there.

Now, I can't allow you to get in the pen with Samson, but if we move to the next pen, we can get closer to the mares and foals." She motioned for them to get down from the fence and exited the gate after giving samson a bucket of grain to munch on for being a good boy. Stopping infront of the next gate to a much larger pen she paused, "Now follow me in here, but stick close to the fence. The first mare coming is a greay, does anyone know the breed?"
