The Ryshadium was a type or breed of horse on Roshar.

Ryshadium were known for being larger, faster, and possessing greater stamina than other breeds of horse. They were also generally considered to be more intelligent than other horses with their owners at least occasionally assuming that they were sentient. Furthermore, they were known for choosing, and only obeying, a particular rider. There were only a dozen men throughout the warcamps that were chosen by Ryshadiums.

Dalinar and Adolin were among these with their Ryshadium stallions Gallant and Sureblood.

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.

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.
