I want to go to Europe to find a Kelpie but not ride one just see one and if a Kelpie sees you what will happen if you refuse to get on it’s back for a long time

so cool! Thanks for this! I’m writing a book called, “Out Of The Ordinary Equine Emporium” about a pegasus and loads of other horsey animals who wandered too close to the border from the human world and the magical world, and evil Conor Briggs captures them and tries to sell them to people. it’s about how they escape, and what happens when a kelpie is sold as a child’s horse, then blah blah blah

There is also the Ceffyl Dwr, a welsh variant of the Kelpie. Like how DAI rin-chan described the pookas, Ceffyl Dwr are mischievous and like playing tricks, but do not eat people. In some stories the Ceffyl Dwr leads lost people away from dangerously flooded rivers.

@Erryn: actually, this is completely right. kelpies will, in fact, drown you and eat you. the ones you’re thinking of are called pookas. pookas are also shapeshifters that usually take the form of horses or ponies and try to lure people into going for a ride. the difference between kelpies and pookas is that a pooka will take off running at a breakneck speed and end your ride by dumping you into a patch of brambles or someplace similar. they are the mischievous ones that enjoy scaring people.

Messed up a little.

There are also said to be two types, the mischevious kind that just scared the living crap out of the people who tried to tde them, but did not kill them, and the dark fey, which is what you described above.
