Is Shadowmere female or male?

[Johnny Casey]

In Oblivion, Shadowmere's first appearance, Luicen Lachance stated it as female.

200 years later, now in Skyrim, Astrid stating it as male.

So which one?

Mere is mother in the French language. My Shadowmere is always a mare :-)

Mine isn't a mare.. since I use More Nasty Critters.

Well, if Azura is both a daedric prince and a goddess, why can't Shadowmere be hermaphroditic?

Daedric Prince does not denote gender, Azura is female, not a Hermaphrodite. Meridia, Nocturnal, and Mephala are also female.

The term Daedric Prince or Daedric Lord tells you they are top rank Daedra, not their gender, it is considered a gender neutral noun lorewise, rather in the same way Mankind is gender neutral.
Personally I would rather they had Daedric Princesses/Daedric Ladies and add a much needed balance to their terminology.

Boethiah however is Hermaphroditic, the only one who is male and female at the same time.

It's a spooky void murder horse that can't be killed, I don't think gender is the first thing people ask about when talking about shadowmere

Well what about Arvak Pigeon? He is kinda boney. :D

I love Shadowmere! She's awesome, and always has a place of honor in my stable ~ even if I'm not riding in that playthrough.

Well, technically they are ALL female horses for the lack of any kind of thing betwixt its legs, however if your IN TO that kind of thing there are mods that add Members to horses for both male and female varieties. WHY? who the ♥♥♥♥ knows. lots of horse ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out there i'll wager.

There were kids in my high school class that went "across" (into Mexico) to see the "Donkey Show" in a section of Nuevo Laredo called "Boys Town", I'm sure there were other border cities that had similar shows. Sadly, I never got to see it. I did visit once to see what it was all about, just too much touble having to safeguard your money so you didn't get pickpocketed. :/

It was called "La Zona" by the residents of NL (not to be confused with Nuevo Leon)

I use the past tense, because I heard they shut the whole place down. It could have been by the "federales" since they were in active engagement with the cartels a few years ago. We had apache helicopters flybys during that time, they used to wake me up in the middle of the night. I guess the US was worried about spill over violence, or at the very least, cartel members fleeing from Mexican forces.
