The Dornish sand steed is a type of horse bred in Dorne.

It is marked by its long neck, narrow head and its slimness and swiftness. They have narrow beautiful heads. Some sand steed colours are red, golden, black and pale as snow. They are smaller than normal warhorses and cannot bear the weight of the armor a warhorse usually wears. They are able to run for a day and night and another day, and never tire.[1]

Prince Oberyn Martell is riding a stallion black as sin with a mane and tail the colour of fire when Tyrion welcomes him to King's Landing
