Altair is a star in the constellation Aquila
I'm not certainly sure, but *if* they are named after mythology it might be the Leged of Prometheus. Altair is arabian for eagle.

As soon as you put one piece of legendary tack on your horse, it can't be sold anymore. If it is a stallion, coverings offered will be lost. Grand Prix entry will be lost. Morpheus Arms, Nyx Pack items, reproduction and customization items will be lost. A mare in gestation will lose the foal. Once all five legendary tack items are applied to the horse, it will gain a Philosophers Stone.

So the chosen horse will become a divine once all pieces of tack are equipped. I'm just hoping the tack is available for all players to obtain. As in, not requiring a TON of passes like the past couple promos we've had.

a horse named Altair in the Ben-Hur movie, but that's all I managed to find about a historical horse named Altair.

He's found in the Golden Fleece according to the Translation as opposed to HOPs or TCs of the past

Will Altair be able to breed?

When does it come out? Also, just confirming that you can get the 5 pieces of tack from the Golden Fleece? Can someone explain the new GC all over again or point out a page where it is talked about in great detail? Not sure if this needed a spoiler or not but just making sure.

When the next challenge begins, the story of the legendary horses will be told. The first legendary horse is Altaïr. An author will write the story of the legendary horses, and every time the community has gathered enough horseshoes, a new chapter will be opened. You can fulfill three objectives every day. Objective 1 = two horseshoes, 2= 4 horseshoes and three = 6 horseshoes. Objective three may be solvable with a video. For three objectives solved, the player gains a puzzle piece. You can also go back and solve the objectives you didn't solve the day before.There is legendary tack to be won, and once you have a full set (5, legendary saddle, bridle, saddle cloth, polo wraps and bonnet) you can give them to one of your own horses and trandform it into the legendary horse. The skills the horse has will then double. you'll also get one piece of the legendary star. Legendary horses can not participate in the Grand Prix anymore(!!).

a small promo, water balloon fight where UFOs become water baloon with gifts you can throw at your friends (see an UFO, click it, it reveals a brown saddle, throw it at one of your friends and then both of you will have that brown saddle, for example)
The numbers here are likely to be different, in similar promos, they used to differ from server to server.

Will Altair be able to breed?

He will not be able to breed. It's possible that might change (as he's hte only one we know about for this new 'set') but at present time - best to assume he can't.

When does it come out? Also, just confirming that you can get the 5 pieces of tack from the Golden Fleece? Can someone explain the new GC all over again or point out a page where it is talked about in great detail? Not sure if this needed a spoiler or not but just making sure.

I've not found anything out about how the new Great challenge is supposed to work - other than doing the standard thing of 'do objectives - get stuff for the challenge'. It seems that Tack can be won from objectives/the Grand Prix - and based on the fact the one image of Altair's info mentions winning him (so possibly the tack for him) in the Golden Fleece.

Until we start testing or more information is uncovered between now and then - we won't know anything for sure.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe that once enough horse shoes are collected and the lottery starts you have a chance of winning a piece of the special tack, or you can alo get the tack items from the golden fleece, then if you put all pieces of tack on a normal horse it becomes a divine

You'll do objectives to earn tack/win tack from other means (ex. the Golden Fleece). This tack can then be given to a Horse on your account. Once all 5 pieces of the Legendary tack are given to that horse - the horse will 'Transform' into the new Divine Altair.

By Transform - I feel it will be the same as the Junior Croesus. The horse you gave the tack to will be deleted entirely from the game - and in its place you'll receive a foundation Altair that has the items/skills of the Divine and not those of the horse you replaced.
