This here's a WUBRG legend for equine creatures. Equine is a batch term that refers to Alicorns, Centaurs, Hippogriffs, Horses, Pegasi, and Unicorns. Wait, Alicorns? Yep, I'm experimenting with the idea of Alicorn becoming its own creature type, to describe a mixture of Pegasus and Unicorn. It's not a type to be used often, just as Alicorns themselves tend to be rare, but it's used here for sake of space. To me, Alicorns would be to Horses as Angels are to Humans.
NAME, Equine SovereignWUBRG
Legendary Creature - Alicorn
Flying
Equine creatures you control have vigilance, trample, lifelink, and haste. (Alicorns, Centaurs, Hippogriffs, Horses, Pegasi, and Unicorns are equine creatures.)
Equine creatures you control have hexproof as long as they aren't attacking or blocking.
As long as it's your turn, equine creatures you control have indestructible.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
What about Hippogriffs? They're part horse, though they do got a bit more poultry than pegasi do.
Card itself is, well, I feel like there are more interesting things than non-interactive keyword soup. Probably shouldn't give itself hexproof and indestructible.
Hippogriffs could be added. Of course, the fact they're part-bird should also qualify them as avian creatures, alongside Birds, Griffins, and Phoenixes. Hmm, I think I've got another legend idea...
I figure this card could be released in a set full of equine tribal goodies, so spicier stuff like "Equine creatures you control have 'T: Add one mana of any color'" ought to be saved for various individual equine cards (say, a green Unicorn who provides the aforementioned mana ability to Unicorns you control). Also note that indestructible only applies on your turn and the hexproof only applies to creatures not involved in combat. So it's far from uninteractive. A wrath sorcery on the opponent's turn can still take the poor horsies out.
Since the primary equine color is white, I was going to make this a "One and all" legend like General Tazri and Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, but I found it easier to just make a WUBRG magical flying horse queen.
