The Ryshadium is a type or breed of horse on Roshar.[1]

Ryshadium are known for being larger, faster, and possessing greater stamina than other breeds of horse.[1] They are also generally considered to be more intelligent than other horses with their owners at least occasionally assuming that they are sentient.[2] Furthermore, they are known for choosing, and only obeying, a particular rider.[1] They can be "borrowed" to other rider. There are only a dozen men throughout the warcamps that have been chosen by Ryshadiums, with Dalinar and Adolin among these few. Their Ryshadium stallions were Gallant and Sureblood respectively.[1] Ryshadium are more common in the west, but they have been seen as far east as Alethkar.

Ryshadium obtain their special abilities through a spren bond. The specifics of this bond are as yet unknown.[3] It appears that they bond with musicspren, as they appear around Ryshadium even though there are no songs being played.[4]

Highprince Hatham had a Ryshadium[5], as did Highprince Kalanor.[4]

Though Ryshadiums were stronger and more intelligent than normal horses, Shardbearers sometimes fight unmounted because they didn't want to endanger them in close attacks.[6]

Gallant showed his special closeness to Dalinar in the Battle of the Tower when he charged through the lines towards Dalinar when he was attacked by the Parshendi Shardbearer.[6]

Ryshadium are often ridden by Shardbearers, hence their capability of carrying heavy Shardplates. Because of this fact, they are referred to as the third shard, alongside Shardblade and Shardplate. However, unlike the other two, one cannot win or trade a Ryshadium[7]

Ryshadium are not native to Roshar.[8]
